Sir Walter Scott was a Scottish historical novelist, playwright and poet. The majority of novels by Scott are known as the Waverley Novels, with the Tales from My Landlord series being a subset of these novels. These works are uniformly bound in blue buckram. The Waverley Novels were among the most popular and widely read novels in all of Europe for almost a century. In full cloth bindings with gilt stamping to spines. Rebound, to be a uniform set. Externally, excellent with minor shelfwear. Internally, all volumes are firmly bound. Small ink spill to the first leaf of volume III of St Ronan's Well. Does not affect text. Small light tidemarks from potential ink spill to the top of page 275, to volume III of Fortunes of Nigel, not affecting text. Chipping to publisher's ads at the rear of volume III of Kenilworth. Pages to all volumes are untrimmed. All volumes have pages that are generally bright. Spots to the first and last few pages and the odd spots throughout. All three Tales of My Landlord volumes have more spotting than the rest. Very Good.

The novel 'Waverley' by Walter Scott is regarded as the first historical novel in the English language, blending history with fiction to portray the Jacobite uprising of 1745.
