Bonnie Prince Charlie's story is well told here. Got no time for the character himself, but Tranter's books are excellent. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
The quashing of the Jacobite Rising of 1745 saw an end to the ambitions of the exiled house of Stuart. But somehow the young pretender, Prince Charles Edward, otherwise known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, manage to avoid arrest. For six extraordinary months the handsome young prince, often starving, sometimes barefoot and in rags, ranged the Western Highlands and the Outer and Inner Hebrides, hiding, lurking, fleeing. Despite dire threats of punishment to all who might aid and abet him, the royal fugitive was hidden by brave and trusty supporters, each of whom could have betrayed him for the massive £30,000 reward offered by the English. This story stands as a tribute to the loyalty and staunch courage of the Highland clansfolk. 'Through his imaginative dialogue, he provides a voice for Scotland's heroes' Scotland on Sunday No library descriptions found. |
