Robert The Bruce: The King and the Spider

Robert The Bruce: The King and the Spider follows the Scottish king's defeat in battle and daring escape. Bruce hides from his pursuers in a dark cave. There he spies a tiny spider that refuses to give up trying to spin its web.

Inspired by its perseverance, the outlaw king returns to the cause, eventually leading his army to victory at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. This is a great book to teach children about history and the tale that inspired the king of Scots.
