The novel has inspired at least ten movies and mini-series. 'John (in West Country dialect this is pronounced Jan) Ridd is the son of a respectable farmer who was murdered in cold blood by a member of the notorious Doone clan, a once-noble family now living in the isolated Doone Valley. Battling his desire for revenge, John also grows into a respectable farmer and continues to take good care of his mother and two sisters. He falls hopelessly in love with Lorna, a girl he meets quite by accident, who turns out to be not only the granddaughter of Sir Ensor Doone (lord of the Doones), but destined to marry (against her will) the impetuous, menacing, and now jealous heir of the Doone Valley, Carver Doone. Carver will let nothing get in the way of his marriage to Lorna, which he plans to force upon her once Sir Ensor dies and he comes into his inheritance'.

The eminent British historian, Mandell Creighton, writes that Wolsey was branded by Tudor historians as 'the minion of the Pope, and the upholder of a foreign despotism.' But the publication in the nineteenth century of the mass of documents relating to the reign of Henry VIII made possible a truer assessment of the visionary schemes of the great cardinal and of his underlying patriotism. In his patient diplomacy and careful construction of alliances, the author concludes that 'at a great crisis of European history he impressed England with a sense of her own importance and secured for her a leading position in European affairs.' - Summary by Pamela Nagami More information: http://librivox.org/cardinal-wolsey-by-mandell-creighton/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)
