KEV67 Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 I have started reading this. I think I detect signs of Walter Scott influences but it is set in the west country. Chapter 2, young John gets into a fight at school with another boy att school. The Victorians approved of schoolboy fights. Chapter 3 and there are shenanigans around Dunkery Beacon. I have run up Dunkery Beacon several times. Well, not all the way up. I ran some of it. Running down it is even harder. With a title like Lorna Doone you'd worry it would be a book for girls, but it's shaping up to he a boys' own book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEV67 Posted September 29 Author Share Posted September 29 I am not sure I am really into this book. I will continue reading it because the chapters are short. It's a sort of unrealistic, romantic historical fantasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 I read it years ago and did find it very flowery at first, but it did get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
