From the history, Olive Macleod sounds like a courageous, formidable woman. I love the premise of telling her story and the story of the lands she travelled. Yet, the telling of the story in Olive the Lionheart by Brad Ricca leaves me a bit baffled because it seems more focused on the emotional reason for Olive Macleod's journey rather than the journey itself. Nevertheless, I am glad to have discovered the history.
