Notes
Description
Waverly: Waverley is a historical novel by Sir Walter Scott (1771–1832). Published anonymously in 1814 as Scott's first venture into prose fiction, it is often regarded as the first historical novel in the western tradition. The book became so popular that Scott's later novels were advertised as being "by the author of Waverley". His series of works on similar themes written during the same period have become collectively known as the "Waverley Novels". It is the time of the Jacobite uprising of 1745 which sought to restore the Stuart dynasty in the person of Charles Edward Stuart, known as "Bonnie Prince Charlie". A young English dreamer and soldier, Edward Waverley, is sent to Scotland that year. He journeys north from his aristocratic family home, Waverley-Honour, in the south of England, first to the Scottish Lowlands and the home of family friend Baron Bradwardine, then into the Highlands and the heart of the rebellion and its aftermath.
Description
Guy Mannering, or the Astrologer: On the night Harry Bertram is born, astrologer Guy Mannering, a house guest of the Bertrams, predicts young Harry's future. Five years later, Mannering's prophecy is fulfilled, and Harry is kidnapped by plotters who want to rob him of his inheritance. Scott's gripping tale follows Harry's battle through the years to claim his rightful inheritance.
