Step into the mist-laced Trossachs where honor, love, and royal intrigue collide. Walter Scott’s The Lady of the Lake (1810) is the poem that set Europe humming—its echoes run from Highland battle cries to courtly grace, from secret identities to acts of mercy that change a nation’s fate.

This reader-friendly edition brings the classic to life with 20 evocative illustrations that spotlight pivotal scenes—Ellen Douglas on Loch Katrine, the fierce chieftain Roderick Dhu, and the mysterious hunter who is more than he seems. Designed for modern readers, it comes packed with helpful extras so you can savor the story or study it with confidence.

About the Story
Ellen Douglas, the “lady” of Loch Katrine, shelters with her exiled father among the Highland crags. A lost hunter—James Fitz-James, in truth King James V—finds refuge on her island and falls under the spell of both Ellen and the Highlands’ stern code of honor. Meanwhile, Roderick Dhu, the thunderous chief of Clan Alpine, seeks Ellen’s hand to seal a rising against the crown, while her true love Malcolm Graeme stands in the path of war. Duels, ambushes, clan gatherings, and courtly reckonings surge toward a revelatory climax where kingship meets clemency—and peace is won not by brute force, but by character.
