The Antiquary, Scott's personal favorite among his novels, is characteristically wry and urbane. A mysterious young man calling himself 'Lovel' travels idly but fatefully toward the Scottish seaside town of Fairport. Here he is befriended by the antiquary Jonathan Oldbuck, who has taken refuge from his own personal disappointments in the obsessive study of miscellaneous history. Their slow unraveling of Lovel's true identity will unearth and redeem the secrets and lies which have devastated the guilt-haunted Earl of Glenallan, and will reinstate the tottering fortunes of Sir Arthur Wardour and his daughter Isabella.
First published in 1816 in the aftermath of Waterloo, The Antiquary deals with the problem of how to understand the past so as to enable the future. Set in the tense times of the wars with revolutionary France, it displays Scott's matchless skill at painting the social panorama and in creating vivid characters, from the earthy beggar Edie Ochiltree to the loquacious and shrewdly humorous Antiquary himself.
The text is based on Scott's own final, authorized version, the "Magnum Opus" edition of 1829.

Great for iPad kids👍
Color: Sky Blue
I bought this in 2023/2024 and it's still intact and usable after hundreds of food stains and me accidentally dropping it. Thank you for protecting my iPad, very great product. Otherwise, my mom would've beat my ass for breaking the iPad. PSA, the case looks the same as the picture😛

Great case for the price! Love the color!
Color: Sky Blue, Color: Sky Blue
I’ve had this case on my iPad (A16 11th gen) for a few months now and it’s held up really well. It still looks good with only a few minor scuff marks, which is expected with regular use. The front cover has a slight magnetic feel, so it stays closed nicely, and I like that it folds back to prop the iPad up for watching or typing. It’s not super bulky but still gives good protection. Also has a pen holder spot on the side! Overall, it’s a great affordable option if you want something simple, functional, and durable without spending a lot!
