This classic historical novel, published by Odhams Press Limited, is the most famous work of English author R. D. Blackmore, first appearing in 1869. Set in the late 17th century against the rugged landscape of Exmoor, the story is a sweeping tale of romance and adventure following the love between John Ridd and Lorna Doone, a member of a lawless noble family. The book is celebrated for its evocative descriptions of the Devon and Somerset countryside and features a frontispiece sketch of the author. This vintage volume is in good condition, bound in a textured brown faux-leather cloth with an embossed floral emblem and gilt lettering on the spine. The binding is firm, and while the pages show light natural tanning and a few minor spots of foxing on the title page, the interior remains clean and free of inscriptions.
