"In this book, specifically designed for younger readers, bestselling children’s author Allan Burnett tells the story of Scotland through the Tapestry itself –a thing of wonder, full of magic and adventures and mysteries. In addition to opening windows into key moments in history and introducing some of the most significant people who have shaped the nation, the book also celebrates the lives of ordinary Scotsmen and women over the ages. From saints,
soldiers and Vikings to kings and queens, Arctic whalers and footballers, this is an amazing journey through the story of Scotland."
