A romantic verse story set in early Scotland combining yarn, humor and history. Historical characters such as St Columba rub shoulders with Viking royalty as the future of the beautiful young Scottish queen is fought over. Comic characters enliven the action and the queen's maid, Wicked Wene, steals the show. This version of James Hogg's classic book is skillfully abridged and illustrated to speed up the narrative and enhance your poetic appreciation.
