Dickson MCunn, a recently retired prosperous Scots grocer decides on a walking tour in SW Scotland as a suitable beginning to his retirement activities. To his surprise, he stumbles into a sinister plot involving kidnapping, crown jewels, and terrorism.To his surprise (and deep satisfaction) our 56 year old hero acquits himself very well, in the process proving that the Geritol crowd can and do have remarkable and heroic adventures!
likable characters, classic plot-elements (the princess, the villain, the poet, the unlikely hero) but hasn't imho aged very well, I found the language and writing style quite dated which distracted from the wonderful story.
