The series spans multiple books across four sub-series, including “The Black Dwarf” (1707 setting), “Old Mortality” (1679–1689), “The Heart of Midlothian” (1736), “The Bride of Lammermoor” (1709–1711), “A Legend of Montrose” (1644–1645), “Count Robert of Paris” (1097), and “Castle Dangerous” (1307).

Peveril of the Peak is Walter Scott's longest novel, published in 1823 and set during the late 17th century amid the Popish plot hysteria under Charles II. It follows young Cavalier Julian Peveril's forbidden romance with Alice Bridgenorth a Puritan's daughter. The story covers political intrigue, family feuds, and conspiracies drawing the characters into events spanning Derbyshire's Peak District, the Isle of Man, and London. The story continues on the Peveril family's royalist loyalties clashing with the Bridgenorths' Puritan resentment, fuelled by past Civil War grievances like the execution of William Christian. Julian and Alice's love is tested when Julian's parents face Popish Plot accusations with subplots involving a scheming dwarf, the Countess of Derby, and court figures like the Duke of Buckingham. It resolves with royal intervention, exposing intrigues and eventually uniting the lovers. warrnambool, shipwrecked-coast, flagstaff-hill, flagstaff-hill-maritime-museum, maritime-museum, shipwreck-coast, flagstaff-hill-maritime-village, shipwrecked-artefact, book, waverley novels vol 46 tales of my landlord, sir walter scott, pattison collection, warrnambool library, warrnambool mechanics’ institute, ralph eric pattison, corangamite regional library service, warrnambool city librarian, mechanics’ institute library, victorian library board, warrnambool books and records, warrnambool children’s library
