Waverley

- Beautifully illustrated with a number of delightful sketches that accompanied early editions, Waverley is considered one of the first ever 'historical novels'. It's the epic account of a young English soldier's journey to Scotland at the time of the Jacobite Uprising in 1745. His many fascinating adventures include befriending wild Highlanders, falling in love, being arrested for treason, and rescuing comrades from a battlefield. - Just as gripping for today's modern readers as it was when first published two centuries ago, the novel is one of the great classics of English literature and is still widely read throughout the world.- This meticulous edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text.
