		He was nevertheless enthusiastic in his pursuit of literature; and when, a few years later, the complete breakdown of his health rendered it clear that he must remove from London, he determined to combine a literary life in the country with a business career as a market-gardener.
		The heroine, though she is invested with qualities of faery which are scarcely human, is an idyllic and haunting figure; and John Ridd, the bluff hero, is, both in purpose and achievement, a veritable giant of romance.
		The story is a classic of the West country, and the many pilgrimages that are made annually to the Doone Valley (the actual characteristics of which differ materially from the descriptions given in the novel) are entirely inspired by the buoyant imagination of Richard Blackmore.

		Times were hard, however, particularly for someone who lavished an uneconomical amount of time on horticultural research: and although he had dabbled in a bit of poetry before, Blackmore turned to writing seriously to supplement the meagre income he made from selling fruit.
		He was a tall man, with a large muscular frame; but for reasons which are now not known, he was advised in 1854 to pursue an active outdoor career (he had previously tried being a lawyer and a teacher) or else risk dying young.
		A visitor to Blackmore in his old age remarked of his passion for his fruit and flowers, ‘God has given him no other children’.

	English Literature - Richard Doddridge Blackmore
		Although Richard Doddridge Blackmore has written many novels, he is known as the author of one "Lorna Doone," a semi-historical romance, which has given fame to a Devonshire valley.
