Do you have a history lover in your home? How about a kiddo who loves audio dramas? Me? I have both. Actually, I have several kids who love both.
Based on G.A. Henty's book by the same name, the true story of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce is told with riveting accuracy! It is a story about how an ordinary man, but one of intense faith, changed the course of Scottish history. It is a tale that will inspire and enthrall you and your children. While the recommenced age is from 6 to adult, I firmly believe that this is a family friendly production. However there are some pretty intense scenes, so if you have a sensitive child, you may want to preview it first.
Many will recognize the vocal talents of favorites in the film industry such as Joanna Froggatt from Downton Abby, Billy Boyd from Lord of the Rings, Skandar Keynes from Chronicles of Narnia and James Cosmo from Braveheart.
We listened to In Freedom's Cause on yet another car trip. Hey, it is the one place we have a captive audience with minimal interruptions. Like our previous experience with Under Drake's Flag, after our family listening time, the CDs were whisked off to my son's room. It has become a favorite, though I must say probably not the best bed time listening due to the intense scenes and excitement. ;)

We have visited Stirling Castle (pictured on the cover) and seen the William Wallace memorial! I am very interested in this and will be researching more. Thanks for sharing!
