"Sir William Wallace" by Alexander Falconer Murison is a historical narrative about Sir William Wallace, a Scottish hero who fought for Scotland's freedom. The story begins by painting a picture of Scotland after King Alexander III's death, showing all the troubles and power struggles that set the scene for Wallace's rise. With the Scottish monarchy in danger and different groups fighting for control, the book introduces the difficulties faced by the Scots under English rule. It then focuses on Wallace becoming a symbol of resistance when the country needed a hero the most. It prepares readers for an exploration into his life, his reasons, and the political and social problems he had to overcome, all of which help understand why he was so important to Scotland's fight for freedom.
