"The Companions of Pickle" by Andrew Lang is a historical narrative written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a sequel to "Pickle the Spy," continuing the exploration of figures involved in the Jacobite uprisings of the 18th century, focusing particularly on George Keith, the last Earl Marischal of Scotland. The book delves into the Earl's intricate relationships and the dynamics of loyalty and betrayal during a tumultuous period in Scottish history. The opening of the narrative introduces the Earl Marischal as a central character, highlighting his reputation for integrity amidst the treachery that characterized the Jacobite cause. Lang emphasizes the Earl's complex personality, depicting him as a blend of romantic loyalty towards Prince Charles, deep-seated republican ideals, and an intrinsic goodness despite the chaotic backdrop of political upheaval. The text sets the stage for an exploration of key historical figures and incidents related to the Earl's experiences, suggesting that the narrative will unfold through a series of character studies that examine the loyalty and moral dilemmas faced by those involved in the Jacobite movement.
