This anthology, part of a series, offers rich tales exploring themes of loyalty, rebellion, and the idiosyncrasies of life in the Scottish Borders. It includes stories about figures such as James Nicholson, a weaver and self-proclaimed Leveller, who grapples with his political beliefs against the backdrop of significant historical events. The opening of this volume begins with the tale of James Nicholson, showcasing his life as a Leveller amidst the socio-political turmoil of Scotland. The narrative delves into his character as a passionate, often politically charged individual who idolizes Napoleon and participates in clandestine discussions about freedom and rebellion. As the story unfolds, we see his ambitions for his family's future entangle with his son George’s journey into the military, resulting in a heart-wrenching conflict between father and son over ideals and allegiances, all set against the historical context of wars and revolutions. The blend of personal narrative with wider historical events sets a compelling stage for this collection. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 71.2 (7th grade).
