Lorna Doone is a romance that tells the story of a seventeenth-century successful farmer, John Ridd, whose father is killed by the Doones, a clan of unruly brigands living in the wilderness. When John once accidently ventures into the clans area, he meets the beautiful Lorna and falls in love with her. In order to rescue his beloved from the life that she hates, he has to go through a long and violent struggle with his rival Carver Doone who also claims Lornas hand. He eventually succeeds in helping her escape from the clan to his familys home which is later attacked by Carver. Later, a family friend reveals to them that Lorna does not really belong to the Doone clan and that she was kidnapped after a raid during which her noble and extremely wealthy mother was murdered. As an heiress to her mothers fortunes, Lorna is now legally asked to leave for London and become her great-uncles ward. Political upheaval shakes the whole kingdom and John is arrested for false accusations. After being brought to London and absolved from guilt, he meets Lorna who is still in love with him. Lorna is eventually allowed to go back to the country and marry John. In the midst of their wedding ceremony, Carver suddenly enters the church and hits Lorna. John follows him and they engage in a fight that ends in Carvers death.
Lorna Doone, a hallmark of Victorian literature, deftly intertwines romance and adventure against the backdrop of the rugged Exmoor landscape. R. D. Blackmores narrative is rich with vivid descriptions and colloquial dialect, immersing readers in the 17th-century life of the West Country. The novel explores themes of social class, love, and loyalty through the poignant yet tumultuous relationship between John Ridd, a farmers son, and the titular Lorna, a noble lady beset by intrigue and hostility. Blackmores mastery of storytelling is evident in his compelling character development and intricate plotting, which culminate in a gripping tale full of suspense and moral complexity.

First published in 1869, Lorna Doone is the story of John Ridd, a farmer who finds love amid the religious and social turmoil of seventeenth-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.
