Complete and unabridged, with 51 full-page plates by Edvard Munch, Edmund John Niemann and James Webb. William Wallace from Lanark to the scaffold at Smithfield: the murder of his wife, Stirling Bridge, the betrayal, and Bruce afterwards.

Fifty-one plates by painters including Frederic Leighton and Walter Crane trace the houses and landscapes that frame a story of exile and return.
