Product Description

At the end of the thirteenth century, the oppressed people of Scotland rebelled under the leadership of William Wallace and Robert Bruce. Time has burnished the feats of these great heroes to mythic proportions, but Wallace and Bruce were real people. This gripping tale of courage, loyalty, and ingenuity recounts their deeds within an accurate historical context. Readers join their company alongside a fictional protagonist, young Archie Forbes, whose estates have been wrongfully confiscated. Archie forms a group of scouts for the Scottish army to fight alongside the legendary chieftains (who were memorably portrayed in the film Braveheart) for their country's independence.


About the Author

One of the most popular British authors of the late 19th century, Henty's historical adventures inspires boys to honesty, courage, diligence, and duty. He was famous as “The Prince of Story-Tellers”. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read!, April 6, 2000
By A Customer
This is a truly inspirational book. I believe this book describes one of the great events in all of human history. For any parent who wants to give their child a view of the world outside their strip-mall laden nieghborhood, they should dedicate themselves to reading this story to them. My youngest is only 7 years old and he loved this book! The only caveat I have is this book, like all Henty books, details many graphic battles. However, the main character demonstrates bravery, leadership, loyalty and ingenuity- traits we'd all love to see built into our kids. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Historical Fiction and Adventure, May 11, 2004
By Scott McKenzie (Louisville, CO United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Freedom's Cause has a brilliant plot and a fictional character as the protaganist. He starts off as a teen and then grows up through the time of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. The fictional protagonist interacts with historical characters from that period of Scottish History. The story is full of adventure, friendship, loyalty, honor, heroics, and history. Good values are presented. This book is great for anyone looking for something on Scottish history and which also is an outstanding novel.

This book is as excellent or better then any Nigel Tranter book I have read, like The Wallace and The Bruce Trilogy.

The accuracy of the historical period is superb and I have read much on this area of Scottish history. The persons discussed, the geography talked about, and the timeline presented is very accurate.

I highly recommend this and can't wait to read another Henty.

By A Customer
This book is one of the greatest I have ever read.Taking place in medieval Scotland, it follows the many adventures of Sir Archie Forbes, a young scotsman who is determined to see his people free from the tyranny of England. Archie meets up with William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, Falls in love, and has many adventures. I loved this book, and i'm sure anyone who reads it will feel the same!

Liberty or death. This was the choice the people of Scotland in the 13th century faced if they rose up against their English ruler. Most would say it was no choice at all. Read more
