Bonnie Prince Charlie: a Tale of Fontenoy and Culloden
Bonnie Prince Charlie: a Tale of Fontenoy and Culloden
A Scottish officer's son is arrested for aiding a Jacobite agent, thrusting him into the heart of the 1745 rebellion. From a damp prison cell to the wilds of Highland Scotland, the boy escapes and finds himself drawn into Bonnie Prince Charlie's doomed cause. He fights at Fontenoy, witnesses the glamour and desperation of the Stuart court in exile, and ultimately faces the brutal reality of Culloden, where the dream of a restored monarchy dies in blood and rout. Henty populates his adventure with real historical figures, genuine political stakes, and the raw thrill of a boy who chooses his side and must live with the consequences. This is adventure history at its most visceral: not a museum tour, but a fight for survival against impossible odds.
