The life of one of Scotland's most romantic & tragic figures. King James II's eldest legitimate grandson, Prince Charles Edward Stuart, known everywhere as ' Bonnie Prince Charlie', achieved international fame at the age of twenty five as the man who by his charisma, daring & energy led the Rising of 1745 against George II which all but succeeded in restoring his exiled royal family
- the Stuarts
- to their thrones of Scotl&, England & Irel&. The romance of this dramatic military episode & the legend of the prince's extraordinary months on the run in the Western Highlands after his defeat at Culloden in 1746, eclipse the deeply human story of a brilliant but flawed man. Vital, magnanimous & sensitive in victory, yet scarred as a youth by the anorexia which killed his mother, his defeat in successive risings led to an alcoholism which destroyed Charles's heroic qualities & all his early promise. Prince Charles Edward's life is often focused on the 1745 Rising. But this new biography charts his early life & reveals the Polish origin of his astonishing dynamism & brittle psyche, inherited from his Polish princess-mother, set against the multi-cultural upbringing of his father's exiled British court in Rome & the international network of his pan-European cousins, friends, freemasons & bankers who throughout his life financed & tried to further his ever-more doomed cause. Pininski's new life of Charles also vividly relates the story of the prince's only child & heir & three hidden grandchildren whose previously untold lives were described by the Daily Mail as 'one of the best-kept secrets in Scottish history'. The size of this book is 23.6cm in height & 16cm wide with 296 pages
