Sir Walter Scott – IVANHOE
Naxos AudioBooks
Read by Jonathan Oliver
IVANHOE has never been superseded as the epitome of chivalric novels. The brave knight comes from the Crusades to claim the Anglo-Saxon princess, Rowena, as his bride. But he becomes caught up in the feud between Prince John and his brother, Richard the Lionheart, who has returned to England incognito. Robin Hood and his outlaws also appear in a story with many interconnecting strands which meet in powerful scenes of tournaments, sieges and courtly love.
Jonathan Oliver has appeared in theatre throughout the UK in works ranging from Julius Caesar (English Shakespeare Company) to Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita. Widely experienced in television, film and radio, he has, for a decade, also recorded audio-books for the Royal National Institute for the Blind. He performed the role of The Daemon in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein for Naxos AudioBooks.
