Feisty Harriet answers “Do the books in the Waverly series relate?...”

Madison Kellar asked this question about Ivanhoe:

Do the books in the Waverly series relate? Or can I read this one without the others and not be lost?

Feisty Harriet No, they do not relate. They are the "Waverly" novels because Sir Walter Scott did not reveal he was the author as they were published. His first book…moreNo, they do not relate. They are the "Waverly" novels because Sir Walter Scott did not reveal he was the author as they were published. His first book was "Waverly," published anonymously, and the rest were listed "by the author of Waverly." Wikipedia has a list of when and where each of these books take place, they jump around a lot in history and location, and are not part of a series like we think of them today.
