Part of Sir Walter Scott’s celebrated Waverley Novels, The Fortunes of Nigel follows a young Scottish nobleman who travels to London during the reign of King James I to recover his family’s fortunes. Instead of finding justice, Nigel becomes caught in court intrigue, political maneuvering, debt, and danger among the colorful characters of Jacobean England. Scott combines historical detail with adventure, humor, and memorable personalities, creating a vivid portrait of seventeenth-century London. This attractive 1893 Border Edition set from John C. Nimmo includes both volumes and retains its handsome red bindings with gilt decoration.
