Book Overview

by Walter Scott (Author)

Guy Mannering encounters a gypsy named Meg Merrilies, who makes a prophetic claim about the Bertram's newborn son. As predicted, the boy disappears under mysterious circumstances. The story leaps forward seventeen years to find Mannering, now a colonel, returning to a much-changed Ellangowan. The narrative weaves through a series of adventures involving hidden identities, legal battles for inheritance, and the uncovering of past secrets. The novel combines elements of mystery and romance with a vivid portrayal of 18th-century Scottish society.


Guy Mannering holds a significant place in historical literature due to its vivid depiction of 18th-century Scottish life, particularly in the Galloway region. Initially conceived as a supernatural tale, the narrative evolved into a complex story of inheritance, kidnapping, and adventure spanning locations from rural Scotland to India. Its portrayal of social and legal challenges of the era, including smuggling and lawlessness, resonated with readers, making it a massive success with the first edition selling out on the day of its release in 1815.


This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian-inspired dust jacket.

About Walter Scott

Sir Walter Scott, the Scotsman who is often credited with inventing the historical novel and who became the most popular author of his day, was born in Edinburgh on August 15, 1771, into a prosperous middle-class family. He was the fourth surviving child of Walter Scott, a staunchly Presbyterian solicitor, and Anne Rutherford, the well-educated daughter of a professor of medicine. Crippled by polio when he was eighteen months old, Scott spent his early childhood convalescing in the Border country southeast of Edinburgh and became fascinated by folklore of the region. At the age of twelve he entered the high school of Edinburgh to study Latin, Greek, and logic; afterward he pursued courses in law and philosophy. Following a five-year apprenticeship in his father's law office, Scott was admitted to the bar in 1792. Five years later he married Charlotte Charpentier, the daughter of a French royalist refugee; they had four children. In 1799 he was named sheriff-depute for the county of Selkirk, and in 1806 he be came a clerk of the Court of Session, two appointments he retained for life.
