Story summary[edit]

The summary that I have written is based on the BBC two-part series adaptation and not the book. I intend to read the book but have yet to do so. I would be grateful if someone would check that the story as written is true to the the book, which is the subject of this article. --Giddie 11:45, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It is a correct account, but very brief, and the point that Lorna is not a Doone should be made more clearly. Xanthoxyl 21:35, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but it is not an accurate account of the book. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.20.213.224 (talk) 12:52, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Other versions and cultural references[edit]

One of the references simply says "Lorna Kennedy was named after Lorna Doone." Lorna Kennedy is not linked to any article, nor do I find evidence that there is anyone of note by that name. zadcat (talk) 01:15, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Plot[edit]

The plot needs to be severely edited. The plot summary provided is clearly based on the BBC adaptation and not the original book. It provides users with a false summary of the original story which included many additional plot lines particularly related to Lorna.

Were the Doones real?[edit]

If so what is known about them? 86.187.163.218 (talk) 19:00, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The story is fictional. There are people with the surname Doone, but there was no outlaw Doone family in Exmoor at the time depicted in the novel. Mediatech492 (talk) 17:09, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
