Complete and unabridged, with 55 full-page plates by Edvard Munch, David Allan and Jacopo Tintoretto. Mary Queen of Scots imprisoned at Lochleven, the boy page who carries her messages, and the escape across the loch. Scott wrote it as the sequel to The Monastery and made a much better job of it; the Mary here is drawn from the papers of people who had guarded her. This edition is bound with a gallery of 55 plates of paintings by Edvard Munch, Gillis Mostaert, William Segar and Jan Brueghel the Elder, and includes three illustrations restored and coloured for this edition.
