Charles Major
Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall 1902
(M. A. Donohue and Company Jan. 1, 1902)
, First Edition
Elizabethan era story of Romance, Love and Intrigue. This book has similarities to a true story. Narrated by a Frenchman named Malcolm Vernon, who followed doomed Queen Mary, (poor Mary), from France to Scotland. When things start to turn desperate for Mary, Malcolm hightails it to England, to hide out with his cousins at Hadden Hall. This is where he meets and falls in love with the beautiful, reckless, stubborn, strong and clever Dorothy. But, alas, she loves John Manners; her father's worst enemy's son. A lot of secret wooing between these two unfolds, despite the bitter family feud. A fun read, and illustration of human nature changing very little in over five hundred years.
