Dorothy: The Romantic Story of Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall

Dorothy The Romantic Story of Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall by Joy Childs A story of intrigue, divided loyalties – and love – set amid the wild, but beautiful Derbyshire Peak District in Tudor times. Dorothy Vernon’s name has become synonymous with her elopement from the ancestral home which she later inherited. It was above all to her a bid for happiness against the odds, not least of which was the opposition of her formidable father, ‘the King of the Peak’. But its consequences were more far-reaching than either she or her husband, John Manners could have envisaged. Friendship for the young pair, and support for their marriage, came from the most unexpected quarters, and when the captive Mary Queen of Scots arrived in Derbyshire, it was not only Dorothy who derived strength from the rock-like assurance of John against the prevailing uncertainties of the time… This novel of Dorothy’s life and love presents new light on an old romantic piece of history, placing her and Haddon Hall, her home, at the very heart of the era in which she lived.
