Ivanhoe, a trusted ally of Richard-the-Lion-Hearted, returns from the Crusades to reclaim the inheritance his father denied him. Rebecca, a vibrant, beautiful Jewish woman is defended by Ivanhoe against a charge of witchcraft--but it is Lady Rowena who is Ivanhoe's true love. The wicked Prince John plots to usurp England's throne, but two of the most popular heroes in all of English literature, Richard-the-Lion-Hearted and the well-loved famous outlaw, Robin Hood, team up to defeat the Normans and regain the castle. The success of this novel lies with Scott's skillful blend of historic reality, chivalric romance, and high adventure. 1039021 book 1819 Ivanhoe total:3798|5:878|4:1314|3:1152|2:328|1:126| 3798 13884 5640 348 4 3 false false Tue Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 1981 Fri May 11 16:41:52 -0700 2007 Fri May 11 16:44:39 -0700 2007
