The Romantic Adventures of a Milkmaid

About this film

LibriVox recording of The Romantic Adventures of a Milkmaid by Thomas Hardy. Read in English by Alisson Veldhuis; Eleanor Howard; Beth Thomas A milkmaid, Margery, encounters a mysterious foreigner and perhaps prevents him from committing suicide. In gratitude, the man offers her any reward she can name. She tells him she wants to go to a ball. He takes her, admittedly a bit reluctantly, to a yeoman's ball in a neighboring county. From there the story continues because of course, a lot happens after the ball. She happens to already have an engagement to a local lad but his hold over her seems to grow of it's own accord. This Hardy story ends in a surprising way for Hardy, with a relatively happy resolution. - Summary by Phil chenevert For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
