The Scottish Patriot who fought for self-determination

Ladybird history books are social history at it's best, from; I would estimate ages 8 to 14 for school use of simply to enjoy. They bring history alive for children, and are filled with fascinating information. As well as bringing alive an animated, exciting past, they also show how events of the past, are with us today, in so many fascinating ways.This review is dedicated to self-determination of nations and the nation-state!Robert the Bruce, published in 1964, is written by L Du Garde Peach and beautifully illustrated by Andrew Kenney. It tells the story of the great the great Scottish hero and patriot, who won independence for Scotland, from that country's English oppressors. The illustrations by Kenney really make the narrative come alive, about the real story of this folk hero.
