Walter Scott 
Waverley; Or, ’Tis Sixty Years Since [EPUB ebook] 

Waverley is a historical novel by Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832). Published anonymously in 1814 as Scott’s first venture into prose fiction, it is often regarded as the first historical novel in the western tradition. The book became so popular that Scott’s later novels were advertised as being "by the author of Waverley". His series of works on similar themes written during the same period have become collectively known as the "Waverley Novels". (Wikipedia)
