Scottish novelist and poet, Sir Walter Scott is considered to be the inventor of the historical novel. His best known work, “Ivanhoe,” helped shape the legend of Robin Hood. During his last illness, Sir Walter’s son-in-law asked what book he would like to be read to him. Sir Walter responded, “Need you ask? There is but one.” The son-in-law then read from the Bible, specifically the Gospel of John. Afterwards, Sir Walter said, “Well that is a great comfort.” | Museum of the Bible
