The book is the familiar mediaeval picture - a court, a tournament, the smug urban life of comedy, the quarrels of citizens and nobles, a too-gallant prince, a lovely burgher maiden. But Scott had so clear an insight into the old burghul life, and such a wealth of knowledge about it, that he re-peoples the streets of Perth with folk who are anything but stage creations. Moreover, Perth was near the Highland line, and no book that I know of shows vividly the contrast, as well as the ties, between the compact municipal life and the savage outlands.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39861021835351,"sku":"7860779","price":7.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/products\/orig_243415_jpg.jpg?v=1658928108","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/the-fair-maid-of-perth-by-sir-walter-scott","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
