Volume III - Adventures of Nigel History: The Waverley Novels are a long series of novels by Sir Walter Scott (1771- 1832). For nearly a century they were among the most popular and widely read novels in Europe. Because Scott did not publicly acknowledge authorship until 1827, the series takes its name from "Waverley" the first novel of the series, released in 1814. The later books bore the words "by the author of Waverley" on their title page.
