About this ebook

When Margery, a humble dairymaid, helps a distressed foreign nobleman escape captivity, she is swept into a world far beyond her quiet rural existence. In gratitude, he offers her a glimpse of a more glamorous life, inviting her to a grand ball where she briefly experiences the allure of wealth and romance. But as Margery returns to her village and faces pressure to marry her devoted but unremarkable suitor, her heart lingers on what might have been.

The Romantic Adventures of a Milkmaid is a novella about dreams, class divisions, and missed opportunities, capturing Thomas Hardy’s signature themes of fate and unfulfilled longing.
