Tales from the Telling House (1896) — a Summary (original) (raw)

This summaryof the novel is from Ernest Baker and James Packman, A Guide to the Best Fiction(London: George Routledge, 1932) — DB

Four tales of past and present. Slain by the Doones is a little study on the theme of Lorna Doone. Crocker's Hole, a story of the catching of a mighty trout, is quite an epitome of Blackmore's humorous story-telling and loving description of nature, and also of his nervous, racy, meandering prose.
