The Scottish Chiefs
Jane Porter
Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers
An adventure novel about William Wallace, one of the most popular books ever written by Jane Porter. The French version was even banned by Napoleon, and the book has remained very popular with Scottish children, but is equally enjoyable for adults.

Rated more on the story than the readers
aimzzz
The book was written for young people. For the most part the characters are flat & one-dimensional-- the good are all good & the bad are really bad. As the book was first published in 1809, I was interested in it as an example of the early development of the historic novel. The story based on the author's memories of stories told to her in childhood. It must be taken in that spirit because there is a great deal of divergence from the historic events-- ex, Robert Bruce became a leader of Scotland well before the demise of William Wallace. (Look for reputable sites, not something based on Braveheart--ex. see BBC bios of <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/bruce_robert_the.shtml" rel="nofollow">Bruce</a>) <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/wallace_william.shtml" rel="nofollow">Wallace</a>) The quality of reading varies with some sections quite good. Kudos for the effort in covering such a long book.

This was an engaging book. As far as the readers are concerned, some were better than others. However, with the exception of one or two chapters, they were easy and pleasant enough to listen to. As far as the book's content is concerned, it was engaging though somewhat exhausting in its overly superlative expression. On the whole, an pleasant story.
