Sobre IBD

Known better for his novel-length work, Sir Walter Scott nevertheless wrote a few short stories. This volume consist of three of Scott’s tragic short stories: 'The Highland Widow,' a tale of Elspat, the widow of MacTavish Mhor, one of the last of the Highland marauders, and her ill-fated attempt to have her son follow in her husband’s footsteps; 'The Two Drovers,' the story of a dispute between a Highland drover and his Yorkshire companion; and 'The Surgeon’s Daughter,' a tale of a wife, lured to India by her husband to help further his ambitions and greed.
