Cradock Nowell Vol. 1

Cradock Nowell: a Tale of the New Forest is a three-volume novel by Richard Doddridge Blackmore, published in 1866. The story follows Cradock Nowell, who is expelled from his family home by his father after the mysterious death of his twin brother, Clayton. This novel, Blackmore's second, precedes his more famous work, Lorna Doone, and is notable for its exploration of familial conflict and the impact of loss. The language reflects the norms of the 19th century, which may be considered politically incorrect today.
