"Caught at the right age, or in the right mood, it is hard to imagine a reader finding any book more exciting or more delightful ... a wonder of suspense." - A.N.

For his notable literary achievements he was offered the title of Poet Laureate in 1813, which he refused. In 1832, Sir Walter Scott died in Scotland after returning home from a grand tour of Europe.
