Stories Quentin Durward , originally published in 1823, is an historical novel about a Scottish archer in the service of the French King Louis XI (1423-1483). Guy Mannering, or the Astrologer , was published anonymously in 1815. It tells the story of Harry Bertram, who is kidnapped at age five by smugglers after witnessing the murder of a customs officer. It follows Harry's life and the struggle of the inheritance of his father's estate. The novel also depicts the lawlessness that existed at the time (1760-1780), when smugglers operated along the coast and thieves frequented the country roads. The book was a huge success; the first edition sold out on the first day of publication. For more, go to my Ebay Store at https://www.ebay.ca/str/starcanadianseller
