Not price clipped (9s 6d), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg copy for its age. 311pp. The book follows the traumatic trials of MacIain, a Highland Chieftain of the Clan Donald, as he leads his people in the second Jacobite rising on behalf of James Stuart, the Old Pretender. The battle to restore the king to his rightful throne is portrayed here in this absorbing historical escapade, which highlights all the beauty and romance of Highland life. Jane Lane (1905-78), was the pen name of Elaine Kidner Dakers, British historical novelist and biographer distantly related to the Jane Lane who aided Charles II after his defeat at Worcester. She is best known for her books about the Stuart period and early modern century Scotland, written from a Catholic and Royalist perspective. Quite a scarce book.
