"An absolutely wonderful book, telling the story of William Wallace with a far older perspective than Braveheart gave us, deep and moving and beautiful. N.C. Wyeth's illustrations are gorgeous. This is a little-known classic that deserves to be resurrected!"
"This book is good, but the good guys are sooooo good and the bad guys are soooo bad that it's hard to find someone that's just a ordinary gray person."
