Book Description

Hunted and Harried by R.M. Ballantyne is a historical novel set during the 17th-century persecution of the Covenanters in Scotland. The Covenanters were a group of Scottish Presbyterians who opposed the interference of the monarchy in church matters, insisting on the right to practice their faith according to their beliefs. The story captures their struggle for religious freedom amidst intense opposition from the government. The protagonist, Andrew Black, is a devout Covenanter who faces constant danger as he attempts to evade government troops known as "dragoons," who are tasked with suppressing the movement. Along with his fellow Covenanters, Andrew is forced to live in hiding, enduring harsh conditions and the threat of capture or execution. The novel portrays their secret gatherings in the hills and forests, known as conventicles, where they continue to worship despite the risks. Ballantyne highlights the brutality of the persecution, depicting the sufferings of the Covenanters and the courage with which they defend their faith. Hunted and Harried is both an adventure and a moral tale, illustrating themes of faith, perseverance, and the struggle for religious freedom. Through Andrew’s trials and tribulations, Ballantyne offers a glimpse into a significant and turbulent period in Scottish history.
