Synopsis

Bring history back to life through Jim Hodges’ historically accurate, exciting, and edifying audio recordings. Liberty or death—this was the choice the people of 14th century Scotland faced if they rose up against their English ruler. Most would say it was no choice at all. Many of the Scottish nobles were English supporters. Few could be expected to rise up against the numerically overwhelming English army. The hero of the story, Archibald Forbes, joins the struggle for Scottish freedom led by the valiant Sir William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. The extraordinary valor and personal prowess of these men rival the deeds of the mythical heroes of chivalry. Henty weaves a wonderful story around the actual events of 1314 at Bannockburn.The Henty Historical Novel Collection, written by George Henty in the 1800s, covers many time periods in history throughout the world. In this collection, you will learn history, geography, and vocabulary while also discovering hero characters for your children to emulate. Study guides to enrich your learning experience are available at www.jimhodgesaudiobooks.com/product-category/study-guides.

About Jim Hodges

Jim Hodges began reading aloud in the second grade with a stirring rendition of Dick and Jane. He continued to volunteer to speak throughout his schooling years, performed as a newscaster while in the Navy, and participated in community theater groups. His wife, Monica, once asked what his dream job would be. He answered, “I’d record books.” And so began Jim Hodges Audio Books, producing unabridged recordings of the G. A. Henty historical novels, children’s books, Overtly Christian titles, and classic literature.

Goodreads review by Reese on November 30, 2023

4.5 I really liked this book a lot, more than I thought I would. It’s not my usual book, since it reads a lot like a textbook in some parts, but for some reason, I never felt bored. Which is a surprise for sure. I’m very thankful I read it, it definitely opened my eyes to some things going on in the......more

Goodreads review by Abigail on July 26, 2011

I read this book when I was 15 years old. Henty books are rather on the "boyish book" side but many girls I know (including myself) enjoy them as well. You can find many G. A. Henty books on LibriVox: [URL not allowed] A friend of ours, Jim Hodges, has recorded many G. A. Henty......more

Goodreads review by Kendra on January 29, 2013

G. A. Henty is, in my opinion, one of the best historical fiction authors out there. "In Freedom's Cause" is a prime example, and one of my favorites of his that I have read so far. As soon as I finish reading the book I'm currently reading to the cousins I babysit each week, I plan to read this on......more

Goodreads review by Bo on May 21, 2022

I couldn't find the audio book that I listened to, which was the one by Greathall Productions and narrated by Jim Weiss. I would have preferred giving the book 3 1/2 stars, but that wasn't possible. I always enjoy Jim Weiss and his expression as he reads, as well as the way he changes voices for the......more

Goodreads review by Charlie on June 19, 2022

I didn't actually read the book. We listened to and audio version by Jim Weiss as we traveled. Weiss does a good job with the reading, changing his voice and some accents. Although I think he does a better job with the French accents in The Reign of Terror. Overall, Weiss did a good job. This book ha......more
