* Beautifully illustrated with delightful sketches from early editions, Lorna Doone is an enthralling literary romance based on an intriguing group of characters in the late seventeenth century. Revenge, jealousy, love and death are among the book's many involving themes - it was an immediate hit upon first publication in 1869 and has never been out of print since.* Just as accessible and enjoyable for today's readers as it would have been when first published over a century ago, the novel is one of the great works of English literature and continues to be widely read throughout the world.* This meticulous edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text.
