Overview

Sir Walter Scott's Rob Roy is set at the time of savage feuding between the Scotch and the English that came to a bloody boil with the rebellion of 1715. More than an attempt to place a member of the house of  Stuart on the English throne, it was an outpouring of hatred by the oppressed Scotch. The noble and charismatic outlaw Robert Roy MacGregor, whose daring and courageous exploits on behalf of the Scottish people to overthrow their English oppressors has earned him the reputation as the Robin Hood of the Highlands.

Editorial Reviews

The classics from Real Reads are always an incredibly readable and enjoyable experience and education for children to grandparents. This classic tale from Scotland features Frank who hates working in the office of his father and persuades his cousin Rashleigh to change places. But missing papers which must be found lead Frank into intrigue, mystery and danger with the famous outlaw Rob Roy,...or is he an outlaw? You will eagerly read to the end to learn which side the infamous Rob Roy is truly serving. Very good and the illustrations help everyone remember the characters and events.
