INTRODUCTION

The famous author was born to be the ninth child on August 15, 1771, in the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh, the city full of sightseeing places, cathedrals and winding narrow stone streets. The future novelist grew up in a large Presbyterian family. There were thirteen kids, and only six of them survived childhood. The family lived on the third floor in an apartment building, located in a narrow alley that leads from Cowgate to the gates of the oldest University.

No wonder that people call Sir Walter Scott the father of English literature. After all, it was this genius author who became one of the first ones to write in the genre of the historical novel. The manuscripts of the gifted literary master made an impact on the work of many
writers of the 19th and 20th centuries. It is said that Walter Scott's books were translated in numerous countries with the speed of light. The Englishman's novel, written in 1829, in 1930 was already read aloud in elite circles of aristocratic ladies and gentlemen.
Walter Scott was brought up in the family of a Scottish professional lawyer, Walter Scott. Noble clients often turned to the head of the family for legal assistance, but Walter Sr. was modest and meek, that is why he did not manage to make a fortune. The writer's mother, Anne Rutherford, was the daughter of an eminent Professor of medicine, who worked at the University of Edinburgh. Anne was a modest well-read woman who adored antics and historical novels. She was able to pass these qualities to her son as well.
One cannot say that the future novelist had a happy childhood. An unexpected illness poisoned the existence of the little boy. The thing is that when Walter was one and a half years old, he was diagnosed with children's paralysis, so throughout his childhood years, the kid was desperately fighting for life. In the years 1775-1777 Walter was treated at the resorts and stayed at the farm of his grandfather (where young Scott first became acquainted with folk epos and folklore). But this unexpected disease reminded Walter of itself throughout his life, for the 4
great writer always remained lame (he lost mobility of his right leg).

In 1778, the young man returned to his native Edinburgh and began attending primary school. Walter was not enthusiastic about the lessons; the future writer especially did not like complex algebraic formulas. But it is worth noting that Scott grew up a phenomenal child: even at the age of five he already read the ancient Greek works of Homer and could easily recite memorized ballads.

• 
  Throughout his life, Walter was engaged in self-education, and the school bench did not leave a considerable mark on the author's knowledge. After all, even the literary detective, Conan
  

Doyle used to say that the human brain was an empty attic where one could stuff anything. The fool does exactly so: piles up both necessary and needless things there.
