Originally published in 1825, The Talisman is one of Sir Walter Scott’s most celebrated historical romances, set against the backdrop of the Third Crusade. The novel follows Sir Ke nneth, a valiant Scottish knight, as he navigates political intrigue, betrayal, and honor while serving under King Richard the Lionheart. When a mysterious Saracen physician saves the king’s life, alliances and rivalries shift in ways that will decide the fate of the crusade itself. Blending rich historical detail with adventure, romance, and chivalry, Scott crafts a timeless tale of East and West, faith and valor, and the universal struggle for peace amid conflict. This Easton Press edition is a finely crafted collector’s volume featuring full leather binding, gilt edges, raised bands, archival paper, and ribbon marker, making it a stunning addition to any library.
