About the Book

In 1819, "Ivanhoe" was hailed as "the real epic of our age," and an immensely popular bestseller, even inspiring paintings and operas. Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe, a young Saxon knight returns home from the Crusades to claim his estate and his beloved lady Rowena. When he embarks on a series of adventures to prove himself worthy, he finds himself at odds with Prince John and the Templars, and allied with Richard the Lion-Hearted and Robin Hood. Join us for a sweeping romance, set in medieval England and a classic fight for the forces of good.
About the Author: Walter Scott was born on August 15, 1771, in Edinburgh, Midlothian, England. When he was two, he contracted polio, which left him lame and he was sent to live with his grandparents, learning to read from his Aunt Jenny. When he was twelve, he studied the classics at the University of Edinburgh and became an apprentice solicitor in his father's office. When he was fifteen, he met Robert Burns, and later that year, began studying law. At the age of 25, Walter began writing professionally, first collecting and translating works from German. In 1797, he married Charlotte Genevieve Charpentier after only knowing her for three weeks and they had five children. In 1799, he was appointed a deputy sheriff. In 1796, Scott's childhood friend founded a publishing company and began to print Scott's poetry, bringing him public attention. It was in 1805 though that his career as a writer was truly established with "The Lay of the Last Minstrel." Franz Shubert set some of his work to music, one of which was "Ave Maria." When he became a partner in his friend's publishing business, he was able to expand to novels as well, writing "Ivanhoe," "Rob Roy," "The Lady of the Lake," and "Waverly." As he became an expert in Scottish history, George IV asked Scott to search for the long-lost Crown Jewels. He found them in 1818 and was granted the title of baronet. In 1826, a banking crisis hit Great Britain and caused the printing business to fail, but unwilling to accept any aid, he began writing frantically until 1831. Sir Walter Scott died on September 21, 1832, at the age of 61, in Melrose, England, under mysterious circumstances.
