Sir Walter Scott

The Antiquary (Illustrated) Sir Walter Scott

Scott's thrilling Gothic tale of romance, mystery, adventure and heroism is replete with hidden treasure, cliffhangers, eerie ruined abbeys and down-to-earth characters. It's centered around the figure of an antiquary - an amateur historian and archaeologist - who provides a brilliantly witty commentary on the unfolding adventures. Just as accessible and enjoyable today as it would have been when first published almost two hundred years ago, the novel still enjoys huge popularity throughout the world. This meticulous edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text and is beautifully illustrated with the delightful sketches that accompanied early editions of the novel.
