{"product_id":"supernatural-short-stories-walter-scott-9781847499301","title":"Supernatural Short Stories","description":"One of the main forces in early nineteenth-century literature, Sir Walter Scott was not\nonly among the greatest novelists of his time, but influenced generations of writers,\nincluding literary giants such as Stendhal and Tolstoy. Though chiefly remembered\nfor his historical epics Ivanhoe, Rob Roy and Guy Mannering, Scott penned a\nnumber of short stories which have been unjustly eclipsed by the enduring fame of\nhis longer works.\nMostly set in the Highlands of Scotland and presenting a vast array of memorable\ncharacters, the stories in this collection are tinged with an element of the\nsupernatural or explore themes of murder and guilt, revealing the author's great\ntalent in the shorter-fiction form. This volume also includes a long excerpt from\nScott's Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft, which questions how much credit can\nbe given to ghost stories and alleged supernatural occurrences.","brand":"Alma Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49523954549024,"sku":"9781847499301","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781847499301.jpg?v=1767619223","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/supernatural-short-stories-walter-scott-9781847499301","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
