A Review by Jeremy Ashley
This is a truly excellent book written by the author of a trilogy of novels depicting the early Christian Crusades to the Holy Land. This book, set in the 13th Century, traces Robert the Bruce from early childhood to the throne of Scotland. It tells many tales amongst the splendid history of that period and gives one a clear insight into those violent times. Besides the battles and horrors of this bygone age Robyn Young also shows that love and happiness however short-lived can be the reward for loyalty and valour. A gripping and splendidly readable yarn!!
