Found in The Honor Girl
Written by Sir Walter Scott, 1819
Think Robin Hood....
Not many of the various works of fiction that have appeared in recent years will live in literature as long as Scott's historical novels. Ever since they were written, they have been standard works, and of these, "Ivanhoe" is considered one of the best.
If the conditions presented are not all strictly true of the times of King John, they are admitted by historians to be true of periods not much earlier or later. The story never loses its interest. The characters are strong, the scenes vividly drawn.
—The American School Board Journal, Vol. 20-21, January 1900
