Set in twelfth-century England during the reign of Richard I, Ivanhoe
is Sir Walter Scott's best known novel. Its depictions of witch trials,
violent tournaments, sieges and ambushes make it a gripping read. The
tense divisions between the Normans and the Saxons, the rich, the poor
and the controversial figure of Robin Hood, and between King Richard and
his untrustworthy brother are all explored in this brilliant account of
the medieval era.
