Journal of Sir Walter Scott SCOTT, SIR WALTER, ANDERSON, W.E.K., ANDERSON, W.E.K., SCOTT, PAUL
United Kingdom Canongate Books Ltd 1999 0862418283 / 9780862418281
Regarded by many as Scott's greatest work, this diary gives an extraordinary day-to-day account of the last six years of his life, years of financial ruin, bereavement, and increasing ill health. Scott emerges, not simply as a great writer, but as an almost heroic figure whose generosity and even temper shine through at all times.

Rob Roy SCOTT, SIR WALTER
United Kingdom Penguin Books Ltd 1995 0140435549 / 9780140435542
Good , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. When young Francis Osbaldistone discovers that his vicious and scheming cousin Rashleigh has designs both on his father's business and his beloved Diana Vernon, he turns in desperation to Rob Roy for help. Chieftain of the MacGregor clan, Rob Roy is a brave and fearless man, able and cunning. But he is also an outlaw with a price on his head, and as he and Francis join forces to pursue Rashleigh, he is constantly aware that he, too, is being pursued - and could be captured at any moment. Set on the eve of the 1715 Jacobite uprising, Rob Roy brilliantly evokes a Scotland on the verge of rebellion, blending historical fact and a novelist's imagination to create an incomparable portrait of intrigue, rivalry and romance.
