About This Item
US: Penguin Books Ltd, 1994. Paperback. Good. Banished from England for seeking to marry against his father's wishes, Iva nhoe joins Richard the Lion Heart on a crusade in the Holy Land. On his ret urn, his passionate desire is to be reunited with the beautiful but forbidd en lady Rowena, but he soon finds himself playing a more dangerous game as he is drawn into a bitter power struggle between the noble King Richard and his evil and scheming brother John. The first of Scott's novels to address a purely English subject, "Ivanhoe" is set in a highly romanticized mediev al world of tournaments and sieges, chivalry and adventure where dispossess ed Saxons are pitted against their Norman overlords, and where the historic al and fictional seamlessly merge.
