Sinopse
Características

His Waverley novels brought Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) great international fame in his own day. Many modern readers, however, find them too daunting, perhaps because of their considerable length. The aim of this volume is to introduce the general reader to Scotts prose fiction through his highly accessible short stories. These include the straightforward horror stories My Aunt Margarets Mirror and The Tapestried Chamber and the masterly Wandering Willies Tale with its weird expedition to Hell, told in broad Scots. The Highland Widow and The Two Drovers mirror the themes of some of Scotts great novels. The former deals with friction and misunderstanding between generations in a Highland family - with fatal consequences. The latter examines ideas of justice and honour when Highlander and Englishman collide - again with fatal consequences.Also included are The Fortunes of Martin Waldeck and Death of the Lairds Jock. With an Introduction by Ronald W. Renton and an Essay byDavid Cecil.
