It HAS to be Rob Roy, yes it is slow but it is wonderful.

[Nightshade]

[Virgil]

I've never read Walter Scott, and I have wanted too. Yay, this will be a great opportunity. I don't know yet which to vote for. Several sound great. Maybe i'll be like Papaya and sell my vote at the end. :D

[Nightshade]

hey is this the same lady of the lake Anne of green gables nearly drowns to? I thought it was somthing with a T???:confused:

[bazarov]

Rob Roy is a nice movie, so reading it won't be very interesting! Go Ivanhoe!

[kilted exile]

Rob Roy is a nice movie, so reading it won't be very interesting! Go Ivanhoe!

The novel by Scott has nothing to do with the film, different time period (slightly), characters, storyline. The film was based on other Rob Roy legends.

[bazarov]

Oh, I see! Then Rob Roy is also OK.

[Schokokeks]

I'm a newbie to Sir Walter Scott as well, and Waverley and The Heart of Mid-Lothian are the only titles that sound somewhat familiar to me, so I go with Waverley.

[Boris239]

I've read Ivanhoe and Rob Roy, so I voted for Waverley.BTW why there is no "Quentin Dorvard" in the list?

[Nightshade]

Come on! The pirate!!!:nod:

[Scheherazade]
