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.

Such a wonderful way to see back in time. The manners coinciding with action and true feeling. I loved the narrator.

Walter Scott has a knack for conveying the characters through finely observed dialogue and interactions between them.

Great story and a window into the humour, hospitality and honour of Scottish people of a bygone era

the full on non stop narrative makes it hard to take it all in before he is halfway through the next piece! a pause between sentences and more emotional verse to break the monotonous monotone would be more enjoyable ,as it is , it is a task to listen and that is not why i choose to listen and nor read ,

struggle to keep up
