The Crown & Covenant Series follows the lives of the M'Kethe family as they endure persecution in 17th-century Scotland and later escape to colonial America. Author Douglas Bond weaves together fictional characters with historical figures from Scottish Covenanting history.
"Doug Bond's novels do more than entertain. They educate. Bond weaves the voices of Samuel Rutherford and John Knox into a historical tapestry of war, civil disobedience, rebellion, justice, father's love and family devotion. The books are for boys, but this boy of 60 found himself rooting for Duncan and Angus in the heather of the highlands. Good stuff to help young teens understand current foreign affairs."
