The Ragged Lion
Synopsis
From the author of Caesar and The Sins of the Father, a fictional memoir of the celebrated Scottish Romantic writer and historical novelist. Allan Massie recreates the life and times of Sir Walter Scott, one of Scotland&’s greatest writers, convincingly capturing Scott&’s humor, stoicism and eccentricity. Combining imaginative plausibility with his own deep knowledge of and love for Scott&’s work, Massie reveals the intimate thoughts of a man at odds with his popular image: good and courageous, but also an enigma to those around him. By turns a ghost story and an examination of the Scottish character, The Ragged Lion is utterly enthralling.Praise for The Ragged Lion&“Massie captures Scott&’s humor, and his tragic qualities and stoicism.&” —The Evening Standard (UK)&“Profoundly human . . . Massie is a novelist for grown-ups.&” —The Spectator (UK)
