The story of the Doones in fact, fiction and photo
L.B. Thornycroft
Taunton: Barnicotts Limited, The Wessex Press (1957)
Prepared by Michael Steer
Thornycroft's booklet was first published in 1937, revised and enlarged in 1941, then further enlarged in 1947. By 1957, the author claims, "the demand for copies exceeded all previous demands and expectations". This small book, for many years a best seller in book and souvenir shops near Done Valley, aims at sifting fact from fiction with regard to R.D. Blackmore's famous romance. The 1957 'impression' retailed at two shillings and sixpence. As well as sections on the Ridd, Snow, de Wichehalse and Done families, there is a glossary of archaic terms used in the novel and a section on the Somerset dialect.
