Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott


In an England in turmoil with King Richard the Lionhearted absent, Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe struggles to regain his inheritance and his true love amidst political intrigue, kidnappings, jousts, and more. One of the most splendid old swashbuckling adventure stories, with a many-layered plot and dozens of colorful characters!

I haven't read through the free Kindle edition from cover to cover myself, but I've paged through it and it appears to be cleanly formatted, with a linked table of contents, and epigraphs, poetry etc. included. The customer reviews don't mention any formatting issues. The "with images" versions of the Project Gutenberg edition have illustrations by Maurice Greiffenhagen.
