About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Cradock Nowell Vol. 3 by Richard Doddridge Blackmore. Read in English by Lynne Thompson Cradock Nowell: a Tale of the New Forest is a three-volume novel by R. D. Blackmore published in 1866. Set in the New Forest and in London, it follows the fortunes of Cradock Nowell who, at the end of Volume 1, is thrown out of his family home and disowned by his father following the suspicious death of Cradock's twin brother Clayton, their father's favorite. In Volume 2, the story picks up with those left behind at Nowelhurst and the question of who is now heir apparent to the Nowell fortune. Meanwhile, Cradock discovers life independent of the Nowell name and fortune is not easy. At the end of volume 2, we leave Cradock fighting for his life and his beloved Amy rushes to be with him at the opening of this final volume. During the course of this, the final installment, Cradock finds himself shipwrecked and alone but, as he grows stronger, determined to make his way home to prove his innocence. Meanwhile, his father's health declines and the battle continues between those who believe in Cradock's innocence and those who would usurp his erstwhile position at Nowelhurst. It was Blackmore's second novel, and the novel he wrote prior to his most famous work Lorna Doone. *Warning: Some listeners may be offended by some of the language. Words that were considered acceptable in the nineteenth century are not always politically correct today. It is Librivox policy to leave the original wording as the author intended.
