Journey to an Age of Chivalry, Adventure, and Romance in the Timeless Classic that Defined a Genre.

Step into the tumultuous world of 12th-century England, a land fractured by the bitter strife between Saxons and Normans. Sir Walter Scott’s Ivanhoe is not just a novel; it is the cornerstone of historical fiction, an epic tale that has captivated readers for generations with its thrilling jousts, daring sieges, and timeless struggle for honor and love.

Follow the disinherited knight Wilfred of Ivanhoe as he returns in disguise from the Crusades to a homeland ruled by the corrupt Prince John. Here, he finds his king, Richard the Lionheart, imprisoned and his own love, the Lady Rowena, promised to another. In a grand tapestry of adventure, his path will intertwine with a legendary cast of characters: the fierce Saxon thane Cedric, the noble outlaw Robin Hood, the steadfast swineherd Gurth, the enigmatic Templar knight Brian de Bois-Guilbert, and the captivating Jewish heroine Rebecca, whose courage and virtue shine brightly against a backdrop of prejudice and greed.

More than a tale of knightly valor, Ivanhoe is a profound exploration of justice, tolerance, and the forging of a national identity. Scott’s masterful prose brings the Middle Ages to life in vivid detail, from the thunderous clash of lances at the Ashby-de-la-Zouche tournament to the fiery siege of Torquilstone Castle.
