MP3 Audio CD. Published in 1869, Blackmore?s novel, Lorna Doone is exactly what the title says it is: a romance and a highly entertaining, beautifully written one that was appreciated at the time it was published just as much as it is today. The setting of the story is Devon and Somerset, more precisely, Exmoor?s East Lyn Valley area, the age is the last decades of the 17th century. One might easily call the place the Wild West of England, just the perfect backdrop for a story spiced with intrigue, noblemen, outlaws, vengeance, hopeless love, false identities, kidnapping and many other classic ingredients of the genre. The period chosen for the story to take place is also perfect for providing the perfect setting: the turn between the 16th and the 17th century, the times that see the end of the reign of Charles II and experiences a different kind of rule by James II and certainly times of confusion, conflict and turbulence. The story comes with elements of class struggle as well ? the love affair at… Read More

And they who light upon this book should bear in mind not only that I write for the clearing of our parish from ill fame and calumny, but also a thing which will, I trow, appear too often in it, to wit—that I am nothing more than a plain unlettered man, not read in foreign languages, as a gentleman might be, nor gifted with long words (even in mine own tongue), save what I may have won from the Bible or Master William Shakespeare, whom, in the face of common opinion, I do value highly. In short, I am an ignoramus, but pretty well for a yeoman. My father being of good substance, at least as we reckon in Exmoor, and seized in his own right, from… Read More
