About This Item
Peveril of the Peak (1823) is the longest novel by Sir Walter Scott. Along with Ivanhoe, Woodstock and Kenilworth, this is one of Scott's English novels, with the main action taking place around 1678.
Julian Peveril, a Cavalier, is in love with Alice Bridgenorth, a Roundhead's daughter, but both he and his father are accused of involvement with the Popish Plot of 1678. Most of the story takes place in Derbyshire, London, and on the Isle of Man. The title refers to Peveril Castle in Castleton, Derbyshire.
This copy is one of the pre-WWI editions published by Thomas Nelson & Sons.
It is navy blue faux leather with brilliant gold lettering on the spine.
There's an attractive signature on the front endpaper. There's creasing to pages 203-211 and a little bit of wear at the back.
Lovely little book though -- 4" x 6", 756 pages.
