About the book

Woodstock, or The Cavalier. A Tale of the Year Sixteen Hundred and Fifty-one is an 1826 historical novel by Sir Walter Scott, the 22nd in the series of Waverley novels. Set just after the English Civil War, it was inspired by the legend of the Good Devil of Woodstock, which in 1649 supposedly tormented parliamentary commissioners who had taken possession of a royal residence at Woodstock, Oxfordshire. The story deals with the escape of Charles II in 1652, during the Commonwealth, and his final triumphant entry into London on 29 May 1660.
