Talk:Lorna Doone

Story summary
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)
 * 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)

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)

Other versions and cultural references
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)

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