5.0 out of 5 stars The 'Young Pretender' is put to his ultimate test of courage, 3 Dec 2001
This review is from: Highness in Hiding (Audio Cassette)
Bonnie Prince Charlie's escape from Culloden was not so much, 'over the sea to Skye' with Flora MacDonald, as a tale of the Young Pretender's belief in a nation and that nation's belief in him in his attempt to escape back to France. The clans, who fought at Culloden, had managed their escape and dispersed into the Highlands. Tranter then takes the reader on a mighty journey, detailing events as they unfurled, across the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.

I should add that a map of the area makes the reading all the more interesting.

His all-too-familiar decriptive passages reach new heights as we sail across stormy seas from one familiar named island to the next, tensions mounting as the enemy closes in and then escaping once more, back to mainland Scotland and Charle's beloved highlands and glens of western Scotland, even as far as the Great Glen, thus affecting Charle's escape from whence he arrived, and his English enemies.

And yet, not once did any one of his Scottish clans deliver him to his enemies for the huge reward of English silver - worth millions by today's value.
