Review
A stunning new telling of the Robert the Bruce story (Avocado Sweet)
This unique book will enthral readers of all ages (Scottish Field)
A gloriously illustrated picture-book version, with expertly concise text by one of Scotland's finest novelists (The Herald)
A lively pictorial account of the drama. Bolstered by Jill Calder's vibrant illustrations, it is as much for older children as adults, but avoids over-simplifying the battle and the complex factors that led to it (The Lady)
