ites-VIII, Lorna Dcone ,' by R. D. Elackmore
TODAY Miss Ann Spice will talk of a book that has kept its place in the favour of the reading public much better than some of those which she has previously discussed. ' 'Lorna Dcone '. was. published in 1869 and its charm has not waned since ; in fact, it is safe to say that its characters-the delightful Lorna and her simple John Ridd , the subtle Counsellor and the savage Carver, bold Tom Faggus and his faithful Winnie-and its unique settings on the moors, are very nearly as well known now as they were fifty years ago.
