"Fight on, brave knights! Man dies, but glory lives! Fight on; death is better than defeat! Fight on brave knights! For bright eyes behold your deeds!"
The noble Wilfred of Ivanhoe is disinherited by his father for his loyalty to the Norman king Richard and for his plans to marry the Lady Rowena. When Ivanhoe returns from the Crusades in secret, he is joined in his plans to re-establish Richard on the throne by the moneylender Isaac of York, his daughter Rebecca, the mysterious Black Knight, Lady Rowena, and Robin Hood and his merry men. Sir Walter Scott's classic novel is a thrilling blend of medieval intrigue, romance and adventure.
