''The Story of Old Mortality: For Children'' is a historical novel written by S. O. C. in 1872. The book tells the story of a Scottish man named Henry Morton, who becomes involved in the religious and political conflicts of his time. The story is set during the 17th century, a time of great upheaval in Scotland, with religious and political factions vying for power. The main character, Henry Morton, is a young man who is torn between his loyalty to the crown and his sympathy for the Covenanters, a group of Scottish Presbyterians who were persecuted for their beliefs. The novel follows Morton’s journey as he becomes involved in the Covenanters’ struggle for religious freedom and eventually meets the legendary figure of Old Mortality, a man who travels the country carving tombstones for the Covenanter martyrs. The book is written in a simple and engaging style that is suitable for children, but also provides a fascinating insight into the history of Scotland and the religious and political conflicts of the time.
