The Lay of the Last Minstrel is a narrative poem by Walter Scott. It tells the story of an aged minstrel who receives hospitality from noble ladies. He sings them his last song, a story of his youth, and the Border Wars between Scotland and England.

This is a well paced well rhymed story that takes the Reader to the end of the medieval period, as it dissolved into modernity. There are wizards and spells, musketeers, goblins, and dwarves. It would please anyone who enjoys high fantasy, medieval literature, or Scottish history.

This is a new edition of the public domain book that was originally published in 1810.
This new edition includes:

• The inclusion of illustrations and maps

• A new Foreword written by the publisher.

• Several footnotes illuminating the references made by the author.

• New format, layout, typesetting.

Bulkington Book's mission is to build a bridge into the past, before film, television, copyright, and internet swallowed up the world. We found this story worthy of revival, and we hope you find it worth your while.
