By Jean Findlay. A sumptuous Christmas hardback.
'With a wonderful insight into life in 17th-century Edinburgh and London, The Queen’s Lender is about power, suspicion, religious strife, persecution, and conspiracy. Fast-paced, informative, gripping and beautifully written, seen through the turbulent years of the reign of James VI of Scotland and I of England. Royal court intrigue at its finest.'
Ann Scott-Moncrieff takes the reader on a journey all over the Highlands of Scotland. This book will appeal to the imagination of children and the impulse to be free of authority. The story has more resonance today, when there are even more rules governing children’s lives, and the need to escape into the open air and Highland hills is more imperative than ever.
‘It’s a novel about the human appetite for life, about the delight in sharing and companionship,…about heroic eccentricity versus agents of conformity.’
'As uplifting as it is sad. A beautiful book which teaches us to live every minute and appreciate what we have'
