Lorna Doone by R. D. Blackmore. New Method Supplementary Reader Stage 4This is yet another adaptation of all-time classic by R. D. Blackmore. What is worth mentioning however is that the adaptation was made by another classic, of teaching English to foreigners, Michael Philip West (1888–1973). As a colonial educator in Bengal for a period of twenty years, he developed many original insights into problems of teaching English ‘in difficult circumstances’ and – on this basis – became a prolific writer of textbooks for foreign students during the late 1920s and 1930s. The book is illustrated and supplied with detailed questions aimed at confirming students' understanding of the story. This edition was published in the USSR in 1977.
