The look and beauty of the girl on the front cover which is kind, gentle and yet reserved made me want to read it and find out what 'Lorna Doone'(the girl), was about.
It's about outlaws in Doone Valley that people all over Exmoor live in fear of who killed John Ridd's father, Lorna's mother and brother and then took Lorna to raise as their own. One of the Doones (Carver) wanted to marry Lorna but then young John Ridd and Lorna fell in love. John is a farmer's son yet Lorna comes from a family of Scottish kings. She's Lady Lorna Dugal. Would she marry John Ridd now that she knows who she is? Their love is tested, it's a struggle of life and death for young John Ridd.
One has to go on adventure with it and explore, it's scary and exciting. To sum up:
Good always prevails over evil. Good always wins over bad.
