This is one of Sir Walter Scott's greatest adventures, set amongst the roaring battles of the struggle between the Normans and the Saxons for control of medieval England. It deals with the rivalry between King Richard the Lion-Heart and his brother, John.

We follow the adventures, skirmishes and romances of the hero, Ivanhoe, a Saxon knight loyal to King Richard, as he attempts to survive the England of King John alongside the disguised Richard and, of course, Robin Hood.

Author Sir Walter Scott, first Baronet (1771-1832), was a prolific Scottish historical novelist and poet. His father was a lawyer who had brought himself from the family's rural background into legal eminence in Edinburgh, married a well-born girl and was very anxious that his children should continue his process of advancement for the Scott family.

Scott himself was an early victim of polio, only just surviving by dint of being sent back to what remained of the family seat to live with his grandmother. It was she who introduced him to Scottish folklore and ballads, which were to be so influential in his writing career, with novels such as Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, The Lady of the Lake, Waverley, The Heart of Midlothian and The Bride of Lammermoor.

I'm a big fan of Cosmo's acting, but this reading was a bit stilted. Some breathing exercises and longer phrasing required.

I haven't read this book for upwards of 60 years but Scott.has the beating of modern authors still! The narration is excellent and Jimmy Cosmo has the characters to perfection.

Essentially the original game of thrones - trial by combat, knights in disguise etc minus the magic. The reader is very good but watch out if you want to learn the correct pronunciation - dais, trysting, bier - are all mispronounced (obscure admittedly but not that obscure) and this slightly ruins the fun.

Well read but some words mispronounced

Inspired choice of narrator - Mr Cosmo played Lord Cedric in a standout performance in the BBC dramatisation of this book. I enjoyed this audible production immensely.

Superb rendering by James Cosmo ...

I found the narration was particularly poor and that was quite detrimental to the overall listening experience. A good narration can enhance a boring book, a boring narration can kill a half decent book. Unfortunately, this book is an example of the latter. I almost gave up on finishing the book because of a poor narration.
Having just finished a fantastic Audible dramatization of another classic, the poor narration here is all the more obvious. Such a shame...
