About this listen

Waverley by Sir Walter Scott is an enthralling tale of love, war and divided loyalties. Taking place during the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745, the novel tells the story of proud English officer Edward Waverley.

After being posted to Dundee, Edward eventually befriends chieftain of the Highland Clan Mac-Ivor and falls in love with his beautiful sister Flora. He then renounces his former loyalties in order actively to support Scotland in open rebellion against the Union with England.

The book depicts stunning, romantic panoramas of the Highlands, and is famous for being one of the first historical novels. Its influence extended to many authors, including Dickens, Dumas, Gogol, Stevenson, Thackeray, and Tolstoy.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

They say Sir Walter Scott is not read so much these days..... if so, rare treats such as this are almost a secret pleasure to those of us who find them out!

Absolutely Brilliant!

Loved it...Clear and concise narrator. The story kept me spellbound so much so it was difficult for me to close the book and go do something else. Yes a very enjoyable book which had a magnetic charm.

An outstanding reading which made a gripping adventure out of what might have been a bit ponderous in print. Couldn’t hope for a better introduction to Walter Scott.

What a discovery
