Set in the reign of Richard I - Cœur de Lion - Ivanhoe is an historical romance and dashing tale of derring-do. As the loyal supporters of King Richard battle against the forces of his wicked and scheming brother, Prince John, the reader encounters Robin Hood and his Merry Men of Sherwood Forest, the lovely Lady Rowena who traces her ancestry back to King Alfred, the fierce Templar Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert and the oafish Sir Reginald Front-de-Bœuf. The description of the grand tournament at Ashby-de-la-Zouche is one of the greatest of Scott's achievements. However, the abiding success of Ivanhoe rests on it being a spellbinding adventure story of timeless appeal to readers of all ages.
