beautiful Scottish queen who lost a throne for love and whose power struggle with
Elizabeth I of England ended with her beheading. |

Mary, Queen of
Scotland and the Isles, by Margaret George |
George has created a lively,
gallant Mary of intelligence, charm, and terrible judgment--in outline true enough, and
fictionally persuasive. Unlike cousin Elizabeth I of England, Mary enjoyed a richly
cosseted and loving childhood and youth; arriving back in Scotland then--a Scotland
bristling with religious ferment, plots, and a history of regencies--is a shock, at first
bewildering, then exhilarating. |

Robert the
Bruce: King of Scots, by Ronald McNair Scott |
The Bruce's legacy, so
vividly illustrated in the book, of tremendous courage, resilience, leadership, and
compassion is inspiring to any reader. Particularly moving was the Bruce's repeated
displays of grace to his defeated enemies and political opponents. How rare in history to
see such compassion from a victor in battle! |

William
Wallace: Brave Heart, by James A. MacKay |
There is a lot of mystery
surrounding the life and times of William Wallace. MacKay leans heavily on the minstrel,
Blind Harry, for information, but as MacKay is such a noted historian, you can be sure
that the information in the book is as close to the truth as you will get. |
