Complete and unabridged, with 45 full-page plates by John Everett Millais, John Atkinson Grimshaw and Arthur Streeton. A woman walks from Edinburgh to London to beg her sister's life from the queen, having refused to tell one lie in court that would have saved her. Scott built it on a real case and a real walk, and Jeanie Deans is the only one of his heroines who is neither noble nor beautiful and the only one everybody remembers. Forty-five plates, among them John Everett Millais and John Atkinson Grimshaw, range from Richard the Lionheart to Cambridge processions, matching the novel's long journey through British history and landscape.
