The Ragged Lion: A Novel

In this critically-acclaimed fictional memoir of Sir Walter Scott, Allan Massie recreates the life and times of one of Scotland`s greatest writers,convincingly capturing Scott`s humour, stoicism and eccentricity. Combining imaginative plausibility with his own deep knowledge of and love forScott`s work, Massie reveals the intimate thoughts of a man at odds with his popular image: good and courageous, but also an enigma to thosearound him.By turns a ghost story and an examination of the Scottish character, The Ragged Lion is utterly enthralling.
