«Ivanhoe» is the historical novel by Sir Walter Scott adapted and illustrated by Andrew Skilleter, published by Wayland in hardcover (61 pages, in English).
The action follows the Saxon knight Wilfred of Ivanhoe on his return from the Crusades to an England divided between Normans and Saxons: tournaments, sieges and kidnappings mingle with his love for Lady Rowena and his loyalty to Richard the Lionheart. Robin Hood appears in the plot, along with the tension between Christians and Jews of the time.
It is an abridged version of the classic originally published in 1819 and corresponds to volume 19 of the Myths and Legends collection.
Suitable for young readers and for a first approach to the classics from age 8.
