Begun with Children of the Mist some thirty years earlier, Phillpotts’s long sequence of Dartmoor novels ends here, as he explains in a foreword. Around Ugborough Beacon and Shipley Bridge, a betrothal, a rescue and a farm under notice set the plot moving, and a husband’s jealousy threatens the marriage at its centre.
A rich, unhurried rural novel for admirers of Hardy-style regional fiction and the Devon moorland. Download the free EPUB.
