Description

Sir Kenneth faces dishonour over a stolen banner while Richard?s sickbed and Saladin?s healing gift reshape crusade politics. Spoken as Scott when honour in the Holy Land is harder than any duel.

Author

Walter Scott (1771–1832) invented the historical novel as a popular art. Waverley, Ivanhoe, and Rob Roy taught Europe that the past could be walked through — tartan, crusade, and the clash of Highland and Hanoverian as living weather, not a school lesson. A poet and an Edinburgh lawyer before the novels made him famous, Scott wrote at a pace that built Abbotsford and a nation's tourist imagination.
