    Richard Doddridge Blackmore was born on 7th June, 1825 at Longworth in Berkshire (now part of Oxfordshire), where his father, John Blackmore, was Curate-in-charge of the parish. His mother died a few months after his birth the victim of an outbreak of typhus. With this loss the family moved to Bushey, Hertfordshire, then on to their native Devon.  His elder brother Richard (by a year), however, was taken by his aunt to live near Oxford. His father married again in 1831, whereupon Richard returned to live with them.  With much of his childhood spent in the lush and pastoral "Doone Country" of Exmoor, and along the Badgworthy Water, Blackmore came to love the very countryside he immortalised in Lorna Doone.  In November 1853 he married his wife Lucy.  And the following year, 1854, his literary career began with a collection of Poems and for the next 15 years he would write in the winters and garden in the summers.  In 1860 with inherited money he built a house in Teddington just outside of London and established a market garden for the cultivation of fruit.  He loved horticulture but having little business experience could never really exploit it.  However with the publication of Lorna Doone in 1869 he was catapulted to fame.  And although he continued to write extensively nothing caught the public imagination quite like Lorna Doone.  RD Blackmore died at Teddington on 20th January, 1900 after a long and painful illness, and was buried next to his wife in Teddington cemetery.

    The Tales of Willowdean Forest: 
A secret realm. A stolen relic. A forest on the brink of war. 
Long before maps and kingdoms, when dragons still guarded the skies and elves walked freely beneath the trees, a single act of greed broke the peace that bound them all. Now, the balance of magic and man teeters on the edge of ruin. 
As a firestorm gathers over the enchanted Willowdean Forest, strange heroes rise from its shadows: a talking scarecrow with a mysterious past, a clever owl who sees what others cannot, and a proud stag bound by duty and destiny. Guided by a queen whose heart hides both sorrow and fire, they must uncover a truth powerful enough to heal the realm they love—or destroy it forever. 
Old magic is stirring. Legends are waking. And the forest is ready to choose a side. 
Perfect for fans of The Chronicles of Narnia, The Hobbit, and Redwall, The Tales of Willowdean Forest weaves magic, myth, and adventure into an unforgettable journey. With dragons, elves, enchanted forests, and talking creatures, this vivid fantasy anthology captures the timeless struggle between greed and grace, hope and despair, loyalty and fate. Written to captivate older children, teens, and fantasy-loving adults alike, these stories are a lyrical escape into a world where dragons dominate the skies and magic reigns supreme.
