Synopsis

Compelled to take up arms against Claverhouse and the Royalists, Scott's hero in THE TALE OF OLD MORTALITY is Henry Morton of Milwood. A moderate Covenanter, Morton is one of the 'people's heros' who challenges King Charles II and changes the course of Scottish history. THE TALE OF OLD MORTALITY is Scott's first undisputed masterpiece and distils the humour, grit and romance of the West of Scotland, past and present.
