It is probably set in 1715, the year of the second Jacobite uprising, and the social and economic background to that event are an important element in the novel, though it is not treated directly. The depiction of Rob Roy bears little relation to the historical figure: 'there are two Rob Roys. One lived and breathed. The other is a good story, a lively tale set in the past. Both may be accepted as "valid", but they serve different needs and interests.' Book is as new, Half-leather , , gilt lettering and top of pages, marble like end papers, very solid and very clean , 423 pages. This is number 4 of a set of 25 volumes, see vol 1 for more info. |
