Welcome to ‘Outlander’: A Beginners Guide
By Lesa Walton
Outlander (published 1991)
Dell Publishing
This is, obviously, the very first novel and where you should DEFINITELY begin! Now, that being said, if you’ve already watched the show- that’s ok! The show follows the first book very closely, but there is enough detail and nuance left out of the TV show that you won’t feel bored reading the same story!
I would bet you won’t even be able to tell it’s the same story.
Diana has told the story of ‘Outlander’ many times, and I just can’t get enough of it. She wrote the book “as practice” just to see “if she could.”
Well, she can.
She hadn’t thought she would show ANYONE this book, so she let her creativity take over. There were no rules. Thank God for that, because now we have this fandom with her on our pedestal.
All hail Diana!
