The Fair Maid of Perth, Or, St. Valentine's Day

Sir Walter Scott
 (1771 - 1832)

Run Time 20 Hours 3 Minutes in 20 Audio CDs


Read in English by Rita Boutros; Elsie Selwyn; Campbell Schelp; Elijah Fisher

Henry Gow has fallen in love with the Fair Maid of Perth, Catherine, the glovemaker's daughter. To make sure that he would be the first person she sees on Valentine's Day, he walks to her house at the break of dawn and arrives - just in time to save her from an attempted kidnapping. Henry acts immediately to save her, but the attackers are not just some ruffians but well-born and well-connected. Henry and Catherine are drawn into the games and intrigues of the nobility, with little choice but to play along.

Public domain books

A public-domain book is a book with no copyright, a book that was created without a license, or a book where its copyrights expired or have been forfeited.

In most countries the of copyright expires on the first day of January, 70 years after the death of the latest living author. The longest copyright term is in Mexico, which has life plus 100 years for all deaths since July 1928.

A notable exception is the United States, where every book and tale published before 1926 is in the public domain; American copyrights last for 95 years for books originally published between 1925 and 1978 if the copyright was properly registered and maintained.
