SCOTLANDS GREATEST STORYTELLER: THE LIFE OF SIR WALTER SCOTT

Suitable for ages 10 and upwards, this is an accessible, affectionate biography of Sir Walter Scott written by "the voice of the Edinburgh Tattoo", Alasdair Hutton. It recounts how a boy descended from the notorious Border Reivers used his vivid imagination to become Scotland's greatest author, and it also reveals the story of how Scotland was put on the map as a tourist destination. Published to celebrate the 250th anniversary of his birth, it includes beautiful b/w illustrated chapter headings.
