Set partly in Revolutionary Paris & partly in romantic Cumbria Judith Paris is the story of the two very different men who love Walpole's most delightful heroine. Daughter of Frances Herries & Mirabell Starr Judith was described on publication as 'the most delightful of Walpole's heroines'. As impetuous impulsive & passionate as her father she is torn between her ambitions & her love of the wild beauty of the Lakes. Set partly in Paris during the French Revolution & partly in the unforgettably romantic Cumbrian hamlet of Watendlath it is the story of the two very different men who love her & is both comic & moving by turns tragic & triumphant. The second of the Herries Chronicles it sold 20 000 copies in its first week of publication in 1931.
