About This Item
NEW YORK: COLLIER, 1880 NICE LOOKING GREEN COVER, GOLD DESIGN AND PRINT FRONT AND SPINE, SOME FADING FRONT AND SPINE. CIRCA 1880, NO DATE LISTED. BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK THROUGHOUT. TIGHT AND CLEAN. The Fair Maid of Perth (or St. Valentine's Day) is an 1828 novel by Sir Walter Scott, one of the Waverley novels. Inspired by the strange, but historically true, story of the Battle of the North Inch, it is set in Perth (known at the time as Saint John's Toun, i.e. John's Town) and other parts of Scotland around 1400. Anne of Geierstein, or The Maiden of the Mist (1829) is one of the Waverley novels by Sir Walter Scott. It is set in Central Europe, mainly in Switzerland, shortly after the Yorkist victory at the Battle of Tewkesbury (1471). It covers the period of Swiss involvement in the Burgundian Wars, the main action ending with the Burgundian defeat at the Battle of Nancy at the beginning of 1477.
