PHOENIX AND THE LAUREL (JACOBITE NOVELS) (KLIO PRESS) (PB)

Jane Lane (1905 - 1978) was the pen name of Elaine Kidner Dakers, and is best known for her historical novels set in the 17th and 18th century. John Grahame of Claverhouse, called ‘Bonnie Dundee’, casts ambition aside to fight for the Stuart dynasty and leads Highland clans to an astounding victory at Killiecrankie in 1689. 'I read Jane Lane's books with mounting admiration for both their content and style […] Merging fact and fiction into essential truth, she has produced novels of quite extraordinary emotional power and exciting narrative pace’ - John Prebble.
