“Set in the 17th century bucolic bliss of the Exmoor countryside, Lorna’s idyll is violently disturbed by the stirrings of the English Civil War. We follow the course of her adventures through the eyes of John Ridd, a young yeoman who is out to win Lorna’s heart and avenge the murder of his father at the hands of the notorious Doone clan. In their first encounter, love blossoms: as she tends to him after an accident, John remarks that he has never ‘seen anything so beautiful as the large dark eyes intent upon me’.” Anna Savva, The Lady
