R. D. Blackmore
First published in 1869, Lorna Doone is the story of John Ridd, a farmer who finds love amid the religious and social turmoil of 17th-century England. He is just a boy when his father is slain by the Doones, a lawless clan inhabiting wild Exmoor on the border of Somerset and Devon. Seized by curiosity and a sense of adventure, he makes his way to the valley of the Doones, where he is discovered by the beautiful Lorna. In time their childish fantasies blossom into mature love - a bond that will inspire John to rescue his beloved from the ravages of a stormy winter, rekindling a conflict with his archrival, Carver Doone, that climaxes in heartrending violence. Beloved for its portrait of star-crossed lovers and its surpassing descriptions of the English countryside, Lorna Doone is R. D. Blackmore's enduring masterpiece.

I previously complained about the narrator's accent, but had the misconception that it should sound more Scottish, which is wrong. the narrator's accent is right on, excellent and well appreciated, will recommend this recording everywhere to everyone, well done!

Even in audio form it took several chapters to really get me interested, but the quality of the writing was brought to life by this excellent narrator!
Don’t be put off by the length of the run time - rejoice that you’re really getting your money’s worth :)
