Synopsis:
Set at the end of the reign of James VI and I, *The Fortunes of Nigel* sits among Walter Scott's richest creations in political insight, range of characterisation and linguistic virtuosity.

The complex web of political (and sexual) intrigue, and especially of all-important financial dealings and double-dealings, is traced with a master's hand.
