Description
""Bonnie Prince Charlie"" is a historical novel written by G. A. Henty, first published in 1888. The story is set in the mid-18th century, during the time of the Jacobite Rebellion in Scotland. The protagonist, Charles Stuart, who is commonly known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, is the exiled heir to the Scottish throne. He returns to Scotland from France with the hope of rallying the Highland clans to his cause and reclaiming the throne from the English. The novel follows the adventures of Charlie and his loyal followers as they navigate through the Scottish Highlands, facing numerous challenges and obstacles along the way. They engage in battles with the English army, forge alliances with various clans, and struggle to maintain their morale despite setbacks and betrayals. The story is told from the perspective of a young Englishman named Ronald Leslie, who is sympathetic to Charlie's cause and becomes one of his trusted aides. Through Ronald's eyes, the reader is introduced to the complex political and social landscape of Scotland during this period, as well as the customs and traditions of the Highland clans. Overall, ""Bonnie Prince Charlie"" is a thrilling adventure story that combines historical accuracy with fast-paced action and vivid descriptions of the Scottish landscape. It offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in Scottish history and the life of one of its most iconic figures.""It strikes me, Leslie, that this is only the sequel of that attack in the wood, and that your enemies have unwittingly done you a service. Crawford was very much your height and build, and might easily have been mistaken for you in the dark. I fancy that blow was meant for you.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
