Retold for Learners of English by David Penn.

One winter’s day in 1673 young John Ridd is riding home from school, across the wild lonely hills of Exmoor. He has to pass Doone valley – a dangerous place, as the Doones are famous robbers and murderers. All Exmoor lives in fear of the Doones.
At home there is sad news waiting for young John, and he learns that he has good reason to hate the Doones. But in the years to come he meets Lorna Doone, with her lovely smile and big dark eyes. And soon he is deeply, hopelessly, in love . . .

Quite a good one.

Well, for those who are looking for a book to practice their reading skills I can definitely recommend it. However if you are looking for something more advanced or even a real pager turner I would suggest other books for sure. Anyways, I didn't even know that this books was written for people who are English learners. I don't regret reading it though.
