Sir Walter Scott
Sir Walter Scott was born in Scotland in 1771 and achieved international fame with his work. In 1813 he was offered the position of Poet Laureate, but turned it down. Scott mainly wrote poetry before trying his hand at novels. His first novel, Waverley, was published anonymously, as were many novels that he wrote later, despite the fact that his identity became widely known.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely delightful. I read this book on a whim, and found it far more engaging than I anticipated. Scott's a delightful writer, with a good eye for character and a conversational style. The story itself is preposterous, though based in fact, and great fun.It certainly helped that I knew the general outlines of the Popish Plot, and something about the characters who inhabited the court of Charles II.
