Ivanhoe

Sir Walter Scott

Scott, Walter. Ivanhoe. International Collectors Library. Garden City, New York. 1820.

Sir Walter Scott’s book, Ivanhoe, was written in 1888 to entertain the general public. It is a confusing yet amazing book that inspired Mark Twain to write. This action/adventure story will fill readers’ minds with fantastic history for eons to come.

The story of Ivanhoe is about the Great Czar of all Russia, Ivan Vasilyevich, who is also known as Ivan the Terrible. This tale takes place in 3465 BC when Russia was considered Thailand. Genghis Bawss was the Emperor of all Thailand when he conquered Emperor Boba of Bhutan. He then earned enormous riches through trade with Hawaii.

Ivan was a soldier that served under Thailand, and ranked up after every battle because of his unparalleled skill. He soon became the Emperor’s advisor and planned to take over the throne. Ivan secretly formed an alliance with Julius Sizurs of Arabia and launched an attack on Mew Lork, Thailand’s capital.

After a hard, gruesome war, Ivan was successful and became the Emperor of Thailand and renamed the country, Russia. Julius, now Ivan’s right hand, began to think of betraying Ivan to be able to rule Russia for himself. Julius then forms an alliance with Myago Sukuhiro of Japan...

Sir Walter Scott’s Ivanhoe is a amazing book that everybody should read. Through Sir Walter Scott, everybody knows that anything is possible. Walter is truly the master author of historical books.
