C'mon Ivanhoe! You can take the Scottish upstart.
I do belive they were both written by the same Scottish person?

haha..."Ivanhoe" had a sudden resurgance of interest. I read that book way back when and loved it. I was sure "Rob Roy" would win, but I have never heard a thing about the novel.
Yes, Nightshade, they were both written by Sir Walter Scott!
I just got done watching the film version of "Ivanhoe" starring Anthony Andrews and Sam Neil, Olivia Hussey. I loved it, of course! Handsome knights, jousting, chivilry, beautiful ladies and two cute leading men, also the appearance of Robin Hood and his merry men to aid the king....miniseries was a little dated, but still a good film and a lot of fun.

Knowing 'Rob Roy' was winning, I've started reading. As a 15-year-old I had won 'Old Mortality', published a year before 'Rob Roy', as a school prize but found the writing incomprehensible. Now, decades later, I am wondering whether Sir Walter Scott is more accessible. After half a dozen pages the answer was unquestionably, 'No'.
But soldiering on, readability is improving. So, with 'Julian' lost, I cast my vote.
I am going to sit this one out; maybe when I can catch up on my life I can do something in fall or winter. I simply have never been very good with cyber reading schedules, though this is a frustrating personal hang up.
Hehe, I am no good at reading anything I am supposed to . I can really really want to read a book, the minute I am told I need to my heels begin to drag and the month is over and Im like, now wy did I do that ?
