Chronicles of the Canongate, 1st Series by Walter Scott
"Chronicles of the Canongate, 1st Series" by Walter Scott is a collection of stories published in 1827. The work emerges from Scott's financial ruin, offering shorter tales framed by the narrator Chrystal Croftangry's experiences in Edinburgh's Canongate. The collection includes stories of Highland life and honor, including "The Highland Widow," about a mother's fierce determination to preserve her outlaw husband's legacy, and "The Two Drovers," exploring conflicts between cultures. These diverse narratives
blend personal history with dramatic tales of Scotland's past. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
