Walter Scott (1771-1832) was a Scottish historical novelist, poet, and playwright. Although he was an advocate and legal administrator by profession, Scott is most famous for his great literary works and activities in the Royal Highland Society. Loosely based on the life of the notorious pirate John Gow, the novel tells the tale of Captain Cleveland, his feud with young Mordaunt Mertoun, and their relationships with Mina and Brenda Troll. Of course, as the genre dictates, it is full of romance, danger, and wonderful adventures.
