Waverly Novels: Black Dwarf. Old Mortality I
Two novels from Sir Walter Scott's "Waverly Novels" series in one volume: "The Black Dwarf" and "Old Mortality, Volume I". "The Black Dwarf" is a tale of mystery and superstition set in the Scottish Borders. A mysterious figure, known only as the Black Dwarf, lives in the desolate mountains and inspires terror in the local villagers. When a young woman is threatened with a forced marriage, the Black Dwarf intervenes, revealing his true identity and a tragic past. "Old Mortality" revolves around the religious and political conflicts of 17th-century Scotland. The story focuses on the Covenanters, a group of Presbyterian rebels who fought for religious freedom against the Stuart monarchy. Henry Morton, a young landowner, becomes embroiled in the conflict and finds himself caught between the warring factions. These novels exemplify Scott's skill in blending historical events with compelling characters and dramatic narratives, offering readers a vivid glimpse into Scotland's past.
