About this ebook
Set in 14th Century Scotland, with feuding clans and Robert III's court fraught with intrigue, the 1828 novel "The Fair Maid of Perth" is one of Sir Walter Scott's best. Though not of the strictest historical accuracy (the famous North Inch combat took place in September, not on Palm Sunday), the story is so colorfully written that only the most pedantic would complain of its liberties. The fair maid of the title is Catharine Glover, beloved by the armourer Henry Smith. (Amazon)
Author
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.
