Guy Mannering encounters a gypsy named Meg Merrilies, who makes a prophetic claim about the Bertram's newborn son. As predicted, the boy disappears under mysterious circumstances. The story leaps forward seventeen years to find Mannering, now a colonel, returning to a much-changed Ellangowan. The narrative weaves through a series of adventures involving hidden identities, legal battles for inheritance, and the uncovering of past secrets. The novel combines elements of mystery and romance with a vivid portrayal of 18^th-century Scottish society.

Guy Mannering holds a significant place in historical literature due to its vivid depiction of 18^th-century Scottish life, particularly in the Galloway region. Initially conceived as a supernatural tale, the narrative evolved into a complex story of inheritance, kidnapping, and adventure spanning locations from rural Scotland to India. Its portrayal of social and legal challenges of the era, including smuggling and lawlessness, resonated with readers, making it a massive success with the first edition selling out on the day of its release in 1815.

This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian-inspired dust jacket.
