Beschreibung

Lorna Doone: A Romance of Exmoor by R. D. Blackmore Lorna Doone: A Romance of Exmoor is a novel by English author Richard Doddridge Blackmore, published in 1869. It is a romance based on a group of historical characters and set in the late 17th century in Devon and Somerset, particularly around the East Lyn Valley area of Exmoor. In 2003, the novel was listed on the BBC's survey The Big Read.

John Ridd is the son of a respectable farmer in 17th century Exmoor, a region in North Devon and Somerset, England. The notorious Doone clan, once nobles and now outlaws, murdered John’s father. Battling his desire for revenge, John (in West Country dialect, pronounced "Jan") too grows into a respectable farmer who cares well for his mother and sisters. He meets Lorna by accident and falls hopelessly in love.

She turns out (apparently) to be the granddaughter of Sir Ensor, lord of the Doones. Sir Ensor’s impetuous and now jealous heir Carver will let nothing thwart his plan to marry Lorna once he comes into his inheritance.

    What if a simple pair of shoes could grant your deepest wish—only to twist it into something you never expected? 
    In The Shoes of Fortune, Hans Christian Andersen delivers a clever, darkly humorous tale of magical mishap and human folly. When a pair of enchanted galoshes appears in Copenhagen, those who wear them are instantly transported to the time, place, or life they most desire. But each new reality—whether it be a glorious medieval past, the romantic moon, or the carefree life of another person—reveals that happiness isn't always where we imagine it to be. 
    Narrated with nuance and warmth by Tony J. Martin, this timeless classic blends fantasy, satire, and moral insight in a way only Andersen can. A whimsical yet thought-provoking journey into dreams, identity, and the curious consequences of getting exactly what you wish for. 
    Perfect for fans of fairy tales, classic literature, and philosophical fiction.
