About this ebook
Complete and unabridged. A disinherited knight rides into a tournament in the England of Richard's captivity, where Saxon and Norman still hate each other and a Jewish moneylender's daughter is worth more to the plot than the heroine. Scott invented most of what people now picture as the Middle Ages in this one book, and gave Robin Hood back to English readers as Locksley. Its 120 original illustrations have been carefully restored and coloured for this edition.

About the author
Walter Scott (1771-1832) was a Scottish novelist and poet born in Edinburgh, lamed by polio as a child. He published his novels anonymously for years, invented the historical novel as a form, and wrote himself out of a printing-house bankruptcy that would have ruined most men. His works include Waverley, Rob Roy, Ivanhoe, and The Heart of Mid-Lothian.
