The Yellow Frigate; or, The Three Sisters, a novel by historian and author James Grant, takes the reader to the year 1488 and tells the story of unlucky sovereign James III., King of Scotland 1460–1488, and his son, James IV.; the three beautiful Drummond sisters, daughters of John Drummond, first Lord Drummond (died 1519) whose tragic romances were affected by the same political intrigues that doomed the king; and heroic, never-defeated Sir Andrew Wood of Largo—the “Scottish Nelson”—whose “Yellow Caravel” (or frigate) became the novel’s eponymous title.
Written by an historian with sufficiently loyal adherence to factual events to warrant including occasional footnotes and a section of historical notes at the end, this is dependable historical fiction at its most fascinating.
