Flora Fraser: On Flora Macdonald
Historical biographer Flora Fraser has illuminated the hidden lives of queens and mistresses through revolutions and scandals. Now with Pretty Young Rebel, Fraser turns her sights to Flora Macdonald, who disguised Bonnie Prince Charlie as a maid and smuggled him to the Isle of Skye, before later becoming embroiled in the American Revolutionary War. Join Fraser as she discusses her namesake in a story of adventure, courage, and survival with Jenny Brown.
