Ivanhoe
Sir Walter Scott, Fred Cogswell
Mass Market Paperback
(Airmont Publishing Co., Aug. 16, 1964)
For incident and suspense, few readers will cavil at Ivanhoe. Like a Shakespearean play, the novel revolves around five dramatic scenes: the confrontation of Norman and Saxon in the dining hall of Cedric the Saxon; the two-day tournament at Ashby de la Zouch; the capture of Cedric and his party; the siege of Torquilstone; and the judgment of God in the lists at Beaumanoir.
