- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I resad and enjoyed this series when I was young, but I must admit I remember it only vaguely. It involves the romantic old writer Dickson McCann and two young men (the slum schoolboys of Huntingtower) who frustrate an attempt by the Republican faction of the MIteleuropan nation of Evallonia to capture Prince John, the pretender to the throne.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another fun little romp with retired grocer Dickson McCunn and 2 of the now grown up lads from Huntingtower as they once again stumble across an incident of international intrigue in the Scottish countryside. There are slow moments here and there, and the Scottish dialogue can certainly be tedious if trying to have a quick enjoyable read......there is nothing quick, for me, at least, in trying to decipher what is being said in Scottish dialect. Fortunately, there is not too much of it. And as the adventure comes to its conclusion, it does get rather exciting. Just some fun in Scotland involving an old castle with some unique characters.....I'll probably follow up soon with the third and final of this series by Buchan.
