Summary

Frances Hodgson Burnett's "The Complete Works of Frances Hodgson Burnett (Unabridged)" compiles the celebrated author's diverse literary contributions, exploring themes of childhood, resilience, and the restorative power of nature. Known for her vivid storytelling and rich character development, Burnett's prose deftly merges realism and imagination, inviting readers into enchanting worlds marked by rich sensory detail. This comprehensive collection provides an invaluable context for understanding the evolution of her works and their place in the late 19th-century literary canon, where the interplay between social class and personal transformation is paramount. Born in 1849 in Manchester, England, Burnett was a pioneer of children's literature, largely shaped by her own experiences of hardship and migration. Her works often reflect her belief in the healing properties of friendship and nature, stemming from her tumultuous childhood and the challenges faced as an immigrant in America. Notably, her personal trials fueled her imagination and commitment to writing stories that convey hope and renewal, influencing generations of writers and readers alike. This unabridged collection is essential for those who wish to delve into Burnett's timeless narratives, offering profound insights into the human spirit while celebrating the joys of childhood. Ideal for literary enthusiasts, educators, and anyone seeking inspiration from stories rich in warmth and imagination.

    Scottish Wars of Independence, 1297. Scottish resistance has been crushed, and King Edward, Hammer of the Scots, now rules the North. Doesn't he?

At Chester Castle, young apprentice armourer Harry has no idea just how much his life is going to change from the moment he is told to guard an imprisoned Scottish nobleman: the rebel Andrew de Moray. The boy's momentary carelessness gives the prisoner all he needs: an opportunity to escape. Harry finds himself kidnapped, and on his way to Scotland.

Soon, he is caught up in the Northern Rising with its skirmishes and stealth attacks. But these are nothing to the storm of questions in Harry's mind: Whose cause is right? Why has his new master joined forces with the outlaw William Wallace? Can his new friend Euphemia be trusted?

As arrows fly and swords clash at the battle of Stirling Bridge, Harry must choose: Whose side is he on?
