"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
From the Back Cover:
The second volume of The Herries Chronicle, which recounts the dramatic fortunes of one family from the eighteenth to the early twentieth century, in a magnificent Lake District setting. Here is fiction in glorious, sweeping measure, set against wild and beautiful scenery and crowded with fairs, balls, weddings, duels, witches, abductions, murder and romance.
Set in revolutionary Paris and in the unforgettably romantic Cumbrian hamlet of Watendlath, Judith Paris is the story of the daughter of Francis Herries and Mirabell Star and the two men who love her. As impetuous, impulsive and passionate as her father, she is torn between her ambition and her love of the wild beauty of the Lakes. Judith Paris is by turns comic and moving, tragic and triumphant. It sold 20,000 copies in its first week of publication in 1931.

Hugh Walpole was one of the most widely admired novelists of the first half of the twentieth century, and the hugely successful Herries Chronicles made him a rich man. Popular amongst, and generous to, other writers, he was knighted in 1937 and died in 1941. Eric Robson was born in southern Scotland and has lived most of his life in Cumbria. For the last 15 years he has had a small farm in the southern Lake District where he keeps sheep. A broadcaster and television documentary maker, he got to know Alfred Wainwright uncommonly well while filming with him in the 1980s. He was executive producer of Granada's Wainwright Country and consultant for the BBC's Wainwright Walks series. He is best known as the presenter of Radio 4's Gardener's Question Time, where he sees his job as keeping the panellists from 'straying into horticultural Latin'.
