Bonnie Prince Charlie Tale of Fontenoy and Culloden G A Henty

Bonnie Prince Charlie is a classic historical novel by G. A. Henty. "Ronald, the hero, is very like the hero of Quentin Durward. The lad's journey across France with his faithful attendant Malcolm, and his hairbreadth escapes from the machinations of his father's enemies, make up as good a narrative of the kind as we have ever read. For freshness of treatment and variety of incident, Mr. Henty has here surpassed himself."--Spectator. Charles Edward Louis John Casimir Sylvester Severino Maria Stuart (31 December 1720 - 31 January 1788) was the elder son of James Francis Edward Stuart, grandson of James II and VII and after 1766 the Stuart claimant to the throne of Great Britain. During his lifetime, he was also known as "The Young Pretender" or "The Young Chevalier" and in popular memory as "Bonnie Prince Charlie".
