In telling the story of Bonnie Prince Charlie, this book,
unusually, places his ancestry, birth and life against the
Scoto-Polish and pan-European backgrounds of his parents' families.
With over one hundred and fifty illustrations, including seventy
portraits, the selection shows those rarely or never-before
included in other works, while the captions are extensive and
detailed. The cover shows a portrait of Bonnie Prince Charlie that
was in a private collection and unknown to the general public until
2018. The third distinguishing factor is that the book presents the
full story of the prince's only child, Charlotte, Duchess of Albany
(Robert Burns' 'Bonnie Lass of Albany'); her mother, the tragic
Scottish Jacobite Clementina Walkinshaw; and Charlotte Stuart's
children, describing their fates during and after the French
Revolution. First published by Amberley in 2010, this edition of
Bonnie Prince Charlie has been rewritten and updated. It features
on the cover a portrait of Bonnie Prince Charlie that was in a
private collection and unknown to the general public until 2018
when it was purchased by the Pininski Foundation.
