Together they venture far from their birthplace, a land of rebellious fighers and vicious redcoats. There is little constancy in Robbie's adventurous life, save for the companionship of his wolf. But when at last Robbie finds a place where he can peacefully make his home, he knows in his heart that the wolf must find his own natural home too...In a tale that sweeps readers from the present day to Bonnie Prince Charlie's times, from the Highlands to the high seas, bestselling author Michael Morpurgo creates a spellbinding story of bravery and loyalty, brought vividly to life by Michael Foreman's illustrations.
