Blending political intrigue, romance, humour and adventure, Scott explores the conflict between Royalists and Parliamentarians in a nation divided by civil war. This 1897 edition, published by Adam and Charles Black, is a vintage example of Scott’s historical fiction, which brings the people and political tensions of the past vividly to life.
