IVANHOE NOTES is probably the first 'Cliff's Notes' that I have read, even though I should have used them in school as I tried to hoodwink my teachers into giving me passing grades! I will try to limit my review to the book rather than the story itself, for I feel like I was cheating on a homework assignment.
To begin with, the book is rather small. I have 28 pages in my copy from 1962. There is an introduction and background information for IVANHOE as well as a brief 'what happens.' There is a summary and commentary for the chapters, some of which are combined.
At this point my review is getting longer than the book so I will just stop and say that these books are excellent tools for serious students.
