A classic story brought to life through Jim Weiss's thrilling, thoughtfully and gently abridged narration. One of G.A. Henty's most stirring adventures tells the story of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce as they battle the brutal seizure of their native Scotland by England's King Edward I (1326-1314). With the Scottish heroes is the courageous young Archie Forbes, whose daring, insightful mind is as sharp as his flashing sword. In Freedom's Cause delivers dramatic portrayals of real Scottish and English leaders in their native countries, and places the listener in the middle of famous medieval battles, sudden swordplay in narrow streets, and dramatic tests of friendship and love.

George Alfred Henty (1832–1902) was born in Trumpington, England. He studied at Cambridge but left without his degree to serve in the Crimean War. After several failed attempts at careers, he decided in 1865 to become a writer, beginning as a correspondent for the Standard. He wrote his first boys’ adventure, Out of the Pampas, in 1868, and its popularity spurred him to write some eighty more children’s books.
Jim Weiss’ storytelling recordings have received the highest awards from the Parents’ Choice Foundation, Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, and the American Library Association and have been widely praised in major publications across North America and internationally. He is the winner of eight AudioFile Earphones Awards.
