Summary "Bonnie Prince Charlie: A Tale of Fontenoy and Culloden" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the early 18th century, focusing on the adventures surrounding the Jacobite movement in Scotland, particularly the return of Prince Charles Edward Stuart and the events leading to the battles of Fontenoy and Culloden. The opening chapters introduce Malcolm, a man with a turbulent past, who returns to his family and brings along a child, setting off a series of events that intertwine with the larger political strife of the time. The beginning of the novel establishes a sense of foreboding and familial tension as Malcolm arrives unceremoniously at his brother Andrew's home after years of wandering. He introduces the child he carries, hinting at a complex backstory without revealing too much. As supper is laid, the character dynamics are explored, particularly Malcolm's brashness compared to Andrew's more reserved demeanor. The narrative then pivots to Malcolm's tales of military endeavors and adventures during the Jacobite risings, where he describes the buildup to battles and his personal experiences. This engaging opening sets the stage for the intertwining of personal struggles and the broader historical conflict, hinting at war, loyalty, and the rugged spirit of the Scottish Highlands, all of which are essential to the upcoming narrative development.
