Classics Illustrated 075 The Lady in The Lake

The Lady of the Lake is the stirring tale of James Fitz-James, the disguised King James V of Scotland; the wrongly exiled yet loyal James of Douglas; his beautiful daughter Ellen, the “Lady” of the title; the fierce yet stalwart Roderick Dhu; and the “rash youth,” Malcolm Graeme. One of Sir Walter Scott’s most popular works, this romantic story of love, betrayal, and triumph helped to create an image of Scotland as a land of legend that persists to this very day.
