The Prince in the heather.

Edición de la obra The Prince in the heather

Eric Linklater reconstructs Bonnie Prince Charlie’s flight from Culloden Moor very detailed and vividly, mentioning every single step he took away from this bloody battlefield, in his book The Prince in the Heather. from an Amazon review by Skarabrae: "Linklater not only traces the journey of the "wanderings" but places the land and the culture in a greater perspective. What is particularly appealing about this work is his examination of the people of the Highlands and Islands who risked their lives and turned away a great fortune to shelter and protect a leader whom many of them knew was championing a losing cause. Linklater puts this steadfastly loyal Highland character in historical and cultural context in a way that other writers have not. The fine writing is accompanied by stunning photographs which together create an evocative and deeply moving book. "
