Biographie de l'auteur

Richard Doddridge Blackmore's novel Lorna Doone remains a favorite of the reading public. He trained as a lawyer but, because of his epilepsy, worked as classics teacher until an inheritance allowed him to live in the country and run an extensive fruit garden. In his novels, Blackmore lovingly imitated both the landscape and the dialect of his beloved Devon, but his books are also notable for the unrepentant evil and violence of their villains.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Blackmore's Springhaven: A Tale of the Great War (1887) is a story of the Napoleonic era and about the invasion of England. The plot has all the excitement of the classic adventure and romance novel, but the characters are ordinary people whose actions exemplify human kindness and heroism.
