Henty, Sir William Wallace, and Robert the Bruce. There are Listening Well questions, Thinking Further questions (including some history links and study on geography), and Defining Words for each of the 37 tracks of the story (you could use these for vocabulary building or spelling words). One thing that homeschoolers will really like is that you get access to a study guide along with your CD-set! It’s 49 pages long and nicely graphically-designed including some color photographs and pictures. You’ll hear Joanne Froggatt from Downton Abbey, Billy Boyd from Lord of the Rings, Skandar Keynes from Chronicles of Narnia, and James Cosmo from Braveheart. The quality is top-notch! The soundtrack (which we also listened to separately through MP3 downloaded on our computer) is really nice–excellent instrumentation and adds to the excitement of the story. Watch a trailer of “In Freedom’s Cause” here: It’s important to know and follow God’s Word. Wallace and Ned’s mother speak about how wonderful reading the Psalms are. One of my favorite parts was the focus on the Psalter. You really feel the time period, the oppression, and the drive of the people toward freedom. It’s so easy to listen to since it’s told as a story using 2 main characters Ned and Gerald (who were also in the first story we listened to.) These boys go through the events and battles so we see first-hand what is happening in Scotland. I really haven’t studied William Wallace or Robert the Bruce very much. There is quite a bit of fighting and violence in the story. I will say that you might want to listen to it yourself to see if you think it would be ok for your younger kids. We listened to the CDs in our car, and it played really well there. Inside the case is printed “The Prayer of William Wallace” (from the sacred song for King David, Psalm 23)

I received the In Freedom’s Cause Single Package which includes the 2-CD set in a nice case with a booklet explaining about Heirloom Audio Productions and giving the link to the study guide. This is a physical CD set with other digital downloaded components.

It’s from the book In Freedom’s Cause by G.A. Henty.” This time the story is “In Freedom’s Cause: The Real Story of Wallace and Bruce” by Heirloom Audio Productions and teaches about the exciting lives of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, who worked to bring freedom to Scotland. I am so glad that I was able to review the second audio theater CD-set of the series “The Extraordinary Adventures of G.A.
