“His magic never fails … I always come back to him … What a delight the few novels of Scott which I could get to read in early life were to me! There was one around the house — an old paperbound Rob Roy — over which I pored until I read it to pieces. Then I got hold of The Talisman and Ivanhoe, thanks to Nate … To me, Scott’s novels are blent with the brightest memories of those old days.”
