Sir Walter Scott - The Wizard of the North (Omnibus 1997)

Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet FRSE FSAScot (15 August 1771 – 21 September 1832), was a Scottish historian, novelist, poet, and playwright. Many of his works remain classics of European and Scottish literature, notably the novels Ivanhoe (1819), Rob Roy (1817), Waverley (1814), Old Mortality (1816), The Heart of Mid-Lothian (1818), and The Bride of Lammermoor (1819), along with the narrative poems Marmion (1808) and The Lady of the Lake (1810). He had a major impact on European and American literature.

Ivanhoe, the classic tale of chivalry, love and political intrigue, turned Sir Walter Scott into the first international best-selling author. This film documents the heroic and tragic life of Scott who, some say, invented a nation.
