The Dangerous Lives of the Jacobites by Linda Strachan

The Dangerous Lives of the Jacobites by Linda Strachan

Discover what life was like during the Jacobite risings, as told by siblings Rob, a soldier in Bonnie Prince Charlie's army, and Aggie, healing soldiers at the croft. Fascinating facts and an exciting story are accompanied by brilliant illustrations.

'The Dangerous Lives of the Jacobites [..] mixes first-person narratives with nuggets of well-chosen information and fantastic artwork from Darren Gate.
Rob's experiences come alive on the page as the reader is pulled not only into the thick of battle but also discovers the intricacies of life for ordinary people in the 18th century. Rob's sister Aggie remains home in the Highlands but her narrative adds a depth and richness to the book which I found delightful.
A delightful book that readers will enjoy not only for its educational value but also for its page-turning action!'
-- Saviour Pirotta, author of the Ancient Greek Mysteries series

'I like the story about Rob and Aggie, and about fighting for Bonnie Prince Charlie. It’s as I usually say; it helps to understand history when you meet and get to know and like some of the people who were involved at the time... I reckon this kind of book will work very well in a classroom, helping to explain history.'
