A report on this book includes three major aspects: theme, style and value.

One of the major ideas of this book is the situation between those two parts of village where one of them were terrified citizens, but other – robbers and murderers called Doones. In case of Doones all people were afraid to approach to moor alone, because it was territory of Sir Ensor, who was their lead. He had arrived from Scotland, because in seventeenth century, on the eve of the great bourgeois revolution, many estates in Scotland had been confiscated for political reasons. So he had decided to go to Court, hoping that the King would help him to get his estate back, but when he had seen a nobleman who had taken an active part in the confiscation of his estate, he had attacked and killed him. This was the reason why he was outlaw. Before all this he had been a rich and respected nobleman, but now he was a captain of the band of robber. At first they had been honest and poor, and the farmers of the neighbourhood had been sorry for them and they had tried to help them, bringing the Doones little presents.
