Master of Ballantrae
'Master of Ballantrae' Summary
The Master of Ballantrae is the heir to a noble Scottish house in the mid-18th century. He is a charming, clever, and resourceful villain whose daring but ill-advised schemes first alienate his patrimony and at last cost him his life. His younger brother, Henry, is sweet-tempered and good but dull and unpopular. He suffers at the Master's hands until his patience and courage win him limited ascendancy, but he is at last consumed with hatred and driven to madness and death by the strain of his many sufferings.Book Details
