''The Maid of Sker'' is a three-volume novel by R. D. Blackmore published in 1872. Set in the late 18th century, it unravels the mystery of a foundling child washed ashore upon the coast of Glamorganshire. It was Blackmore's next novel published after ''Lorna Doone'' although he had begun writing it 25 years earlier. Blackmore considered ''The Maid of Sker'' to be his best novel. ==Title and writing== The title of the novel comes from a Welsh ballad known as the ''The Maid of Sker'' ((ウェールズ語:Y Ferch o'r Sger)),〔"The Maid of Sker": (English version ), (Welsh version )〕 although the content of the ballad bears little relation to the plot of the novel.〔Max Keith Sutton (1979), ''R. D. Blackmore'', page 64. Twayne Publishers〕 Blackmore was also familiar with Sker House near Porthcawl.〔John Davies, (2009), ''Lyrics and Limericks'', page 105. Pneuma Springs〕 Blackmore's mother was from Nottage Court near Porthcawl, and Blackmore spent part of his childhood with his aunt in Nottage.〔 The stark form of Sker House is a central image for Blackmore.〔 Blackmore began writing the novel while he was still a student at Oxford University. He graduated in 1847, but the book was not completed and published until 1872, three years after ''Lorna Doone''.〔
