In the 19th century, the worlds best known writer was probably Sir Walter Scott, who was one of the first writers to have a following across the globe in his lifetime. The Scottish writer still pops up in literature classes across the world, with people instantly familiar with titles like Ivanhoe, The Lady of the Lake, Waverley, The Bride of Lammermoor, and more. Scott is often considered the inventor of the modern historical novel, and his style was imitated throughout the 19th century. His legacy has been debated ever since, but everyone can agree that he has remained influential. The Keepsake Stories are a set of short stories published by Scott in 1828. They got their name because they first appeared in a literary publication called The Keepsake. They consisted of three short stories: My Aunt Margaret's Mirror, The Tapestried Chamber, and Death of the Laird's Jock. This edition of Scotts The Tapestried Chamber and Death of the Lairds Jock is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and is illustrated with pictures of Scott, his life and work.
