Publisher's Synopsis
This is the inspiring and fast-moving story of a young prince, Charles Edward Stuart, and his audacious bid for the crown of King George; how from exile in France he sails to Scotland, rallies the Highland clans and marches on London, how he is defeated in the bloody battle of Culloden and flees from General 'Butcher' Cumberland, and how with the help of gallant Flora McDonald and loyal clansmen he eventually makes his dramatic escape. Bonnie Prince Charlie and the '45 is taken from Tales of a Grandfather by Sir Walter Scott, Scotland's immortal poet and writer, author of such classics as Rob Roy and Ivanhoe. Often hailed as his greatest historical work, Tales of a Grandfather shows off Scott's genius for storytelling and his skill at firing the imagination of readers, and listeners, of all ages. Playing Time: Approx. 3 Hours.
