"Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border, Volume 3 (of 3)" by Walter Scott is a collection that shares old Scottish stories through ballads from the early 1800s. The ballads are about love, being brave, and when people turn against each other, all inspired by the Scottish border regions. It starts with "Fause Foodrage," a story that speaks of royal love, deceit, and payback, a king is tricked by someone he trusts. The queen, expecting a baby, has to find smart ways to stay alive and protect her child, which leads to big fights and a search for what's right. The writing is very poetic and focuses on big events and ideas of loyalty and how people can betray each other, all set in a time when lords and vassals existed.
