Ivanhoe

About this book

At the dawn of the Middle Ages a gripping tale of chivalry and suspense emerges. Two distinguished knights -- one Saxon one Norman -- have returned from the Crusades. Though they fought on the same side they now have a score to settle. What begins as a joust between two rivals quickly escalates into clanwide mayhem and a fast-paced series of battles for revenge honor and love. Sir Walter Scotts Ivanhoe was one of the first great historical novels of western literature. At last this extraordinary work has been brought to life as a lavishly illustrated storybook. Marianna Mayers inspired adaptation combined with magnificent oil paintings by John Rush create an essential introduction to the classic. This exquisitely designed page-turning volume is perfect for anyone with a passion for adventure.
