Prince John has assembled a collection of avaricious nobles to take control of England while Richard the Lionhearted is imprisoned in Austria. This threatens to bring the country to civil war between the Norman nobles and the conquered Saxons. Standing above it all is Wilfred of Ivanhoe, a disinherited Saxon knight who has fought in the Holy Land. Now returned, he wishes to wed the fair Rowena, the highborn Saxon noble, in spite of the seemingly insurmountable obstacles that stand in his way. With dozens of colorful characters, clashing swords, burning castles, kings in disguise and damsels in distress, Ivanhoe remains Scott's best-loved novel of historical romance.

Positive Rating Excellent Production!
From J.R. of York, United Kingdom on 5/13/2013.

Indeed, a flawless production. And a a compelling, exciting story built upon a fascinating historical basis.

I could swear that, while listening to it, and as it echoed in my soul afterward, I was in medieval England. I saw the lists of the tournament and the Black Knight and the storming of the castle and the yeomen of the forests, and I was on the edge of my seat at the dénouement.

And you gotta love Wamba! What a wise and brave fool!!!

Positive Rating An adventure worth hearing!
From Anonymous of MIAMI, Florida on 5/11/2012.

From beginning to end, this is a story worth hearing. It is not only about Ivanhoe, a gallant knight, but other knights, codes of chivalry, beautiful women with strong convictions, friars, Robin Hood and his outlaws, and impassioned Templars. Social, political, and religious tensions of that time connect the parallel stories, as the character's fates intertwine throughout this wonderfully narrated tale. :) It's really worth the price.

Positive Rating Wonderful Novel-Better production!

This is the kind of stuff I love to see produced by BJ. Classic novel with such an amazing story and great characters.

In my opinion, this is his greatest work yet!
