An unknown girl given to a stranger, a deserted Abby, secret chambers, bones, a cruel Marquis, the handsome stranger, The Romance of the Forest is a romance novel and adventure in one. A guilty pleasure for young girls whose imagination has a tendency to run wild. What evil lurked each time they took the carriage out? What unknown spirit lived within the forest? Radcliffe's descriptions of nature and her creation of an admirable, attractive heroine make this book memorable. The elements of horror and suspense necessary for a gothic novel also make this novel exciting. The first part of this novel is enthralling and a page turner as well as the last part of the book, as Adeline's family secrets are revealed and plot lines are tied up. Radcliffe is a great writer and does a wonderful job pulling readers into her characters and keeping you guessing about what's going to happen to Adeline next throughout the entire narrative. The novel was Radcliffe's first major, popular success, going through four editions in its first three years. Scroll Up and Grab Your Copy!

At length he ventured to knock, and, having waited some time, during which he indistinctly heard several voices in conversation, some one within inquired what he wanted. La Motte answered, that he was a traveller who had lost his way, and desired to be directed to the nearest town. That, said the person, is seven miles off, and the road bad enough, even if you could see it; if you only want a bed, you may have it here, and had bet ter stay.
