For generations Ravenhurst had been the stronghold of Scottish chiefs who led Clan Gordon to battle for God and Our lady! It was filled with memories of persecution. It was the scene of the last stand of the great Earl, Sir Angus. Back against the altar and outnumbered twenty to one, the giant Angus grasped his two-handed longsword and laid the sacrilegious enemies of his God around his feet like sproutings clipped from a hedgerow. The setting is 17th century Scotland and the characters are strong Catholics, outlaws remaining true to their Faith, even if it means drawing their swords and fighting (and possibly dying) for that Faith.
This classic adventure is a favorite of young and old alike sure to be a story that most will want to read and read again! Acclaimed by Catholic youth across America as the story they read and re-read and lived so vividly it remains with them always.

My kids loved this book. It was very exciting and suspenseful. It had a great plot line that was filled with devotion to the faith. A Catholic treasure for children in my opinion.
It is not only excellent because it has all the elements of a good story but also shows great Catholic values that the characters strive to live up to.
I read this to my elementary aged children and we were all captivated by the mystery and enlightened by the Catholic persecution in Scotland/England during the Reformation movement. A very easy fast read. I highly recommend it for your children.
It's mystical and keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout.
This has to be one of the most incredible, heart-pounding, inspiring, wonderful children's book ever written! No wonder it's a Catholic classic. Actually, I know it's in the children's section here, but adults will love it too. Top notch stuff for ALL ages.
