Walter Scott was born on August 15, 1771 in Edinburgh, Scotland. At the age of two, Scott suffered from polio (小儿麻痹症) which left him with a limp (跛行). He was sent to live with relatives to try and find a cure. In 1783 he attended the University of Edinburgh. He had to leave for a year because of health problems. In 1786, Scott worked in his father's law firm. He returned to the university in 1789 to study law, graduating in 1792. The same year he became a lawyer and was accepted into the Faculty of Advocates (苏格兰律师公会)．
Scott did some translation work from 1796－1798. In 1799, Scott became sheriff-deputy of Selkirkshire，a post which he held until he died. In 1800, Scott rewrote a ballad (民歌) collection called MinstrelsyoftheScottishBorder. In 1805, he became part owner of The Ballantyne Press which had published his TheEveofSt. John in 1799. His poem TheLayoftheLastMinstrel was published that same year and became very popular. He was a co-founder of the QuarterlyReview, a literary (文学的) journal. Scott continued to write poems and ballads, each one becoming more popular than the last. In 1810, TheLadyoftheLake was published and sold 25，000 copies in less than 9 months.
Scott moved his family to Abbotsford in 1812. In 1813, The Ballantyne Press collapsed, which caused Scott to have serious financial problems. In 1814, he wrote a novel called Waverley to earn money and it became the most successful English novel of the time. He went on to write 26 novels in the series.
In 1826, Scott faced financial ruin again when his publisher failed, which caused him to work even harder. In 1830, he began suffering from diseases and he died at home on September 21, 1832.

How do young children learn to have good values? How can parents teach their children about the importance of kindness and patience? At a time when more and more parents worry about the violent images (暴力形象) their children see on TV, some are turning to fairy tales (童话)．
It is believed that fairy tales have a great influence on children because they describe the two sides of good and evil (邪恶) very clearly. When children hear the stories, they learn to care about others' feelings. In each tale, they can see that there are many different kinds of people in the world and that we all have a choice about what kind of person we want to be. We can choose to do good actions, rather than bad ones, in our lives.
What kind of values can children learn from fairy tales? In ThePrincessandthePea (《豌豆公主》), a poorly dressed girl, who insists she is a princess, is given a difficult test by the Queen. When she passes the test, we learn that her dream comes true because she stays true to herself. In
