Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) is chiefly remembered as one of the
great historical novelists, with his best-known works including
Waverley (1814), Ivanhoe (1819), and Redgauntlet (1824). His
experiments in short fiction, however, began before he published
his first novel and throughout his career he returned to the short
story form, writing tales which often contained elements of
Scottish supernaturalism or the macabre. As It Was Told to Me,
introduced by Daniel Cook, collects three of Scott's short stories
in one volume. 'My Aunt Margaret's Mirror', mixes a tale of
reckless romance with supernatural theatrics; 'The Two Drovers'
offers a slow-burn expose of national conflict; and 'Wandering
Willie's Tale' weaves a yarn around the grisly death of a despotic
laird and a trip to hell.
