Doone-klanen - en falleret adelsfamilie – har gennem en årrække forskanset sig i en beskyttet dal i nærheden af landsbyen Oare i Exmoor i Sydengland, hvorfra de tyranniserer og udbytter omegnens bønder og små landsbysamfund. John Ridd - bogens fortæller, en lidt naiv, henved to meter høj kraftkarl af en mand – forelsker sig allerede som barn dybt og uigenkaldeligt i klanens "prinsesse", Lorna, angiveligt Doone-klanens leder, sir Ensors, barnebarn. De mødes ved et tilfælde, da drengen i et anfald af eventyrlyst benytter en "bagdør" for at komme ind Doone-dalen, og forelskelsen er gensidig. Som årene nu efterhånden går, forvandler de to børns fantasi sig til virkelig kærlighed – et ubrydeligt bånd, som får John til at vove livet for at frelse sin elskede ud af den ondskabsfulde Carver Doones kløer midt i den strenge vinter 1683-84, en af de værste, England har oplevet.Denne dåd skaffer ham Carvers nådesløse had på halsen, og fører til nogle af bogens mest gribende scener, da Carver tager hævn - men først efter at de elskende har været udsat for mange forviklinger, og Lornas sande identitet er blevet afsløret.Denne udgave er – som vist de fleste andre danske oversættelser - noget forkortet, så at læseren undgår de mange dialoger om meget lokale forhold i en tillempet 1600-tals Exmoor-dialekt, som forfatteren gjorde meget ud af.

At home there is sad news waiting for young John, and he learns that he has good reason to hate the Doones. But in the years to come he meets Lorna Doone, with her lovely smile and big dark eyes. And soon he is deeply, hopelessly in love...

The beauty of Exmoor dominates this blend of romance and adventure that is R.D. Blackmore's novel "Lorna Doone". Spanning 13 years, all the characters are here from the ruthless Doones to the peace-loving Ridds with the love of John Ridd for Lorna Doone at the heart of the play.

'Every woman clutched her child, and every man turned pale at the very name of "Doone"'John Ridd, an unsophisticated farmer, falls in love with the beautiful and aristocratic Lorna Doone, kidnapped as a child by the outlaw Doones on Exmoor. Ridd's rivalry with the villainous Carver Doone reaches a dramatic climax that will determine Lorna's future happiness.First published in 1869, Lorna Doone was praised by R. L. Stevenson and Thomas Hardy and has remained constantly in print. The novel has many aspects: it is a romance; a historical novel set at the time of the Monmouth Rebellion in the seventeenth century; and a new development in the pastoral tradition. Underneath an ostensibly idyllic evocation of rural bliss and tale of love and high adventure lies a solid defence of Victorian social values, and a hero whose self-doubt prompts him constantly to prove himself.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
