Review Quotes:
What they said after reading the book:
Flashman
Too little sex. As a matter of fact - apart from an older woman taking him under her wing - nothing. No ambition. If he had said his ambition was to be shot at 100 by a jealous husband - OK. But nothing. Pathetic.
Para Handy
I kent his grandfaither weel enough; Lachunn Dubh a' Chrògain (Black-haired Lachie from Croggan), one of Britain's hardy sons.
Little Bo Peep
Coming from Lismore, the author knows the ways of the sheep and why the Mull farmers used to shout, 'Meh, meh' at the Lismore men at the sales.
Alice in Wonderland
Suffice to say that Lachlan has excellent table manners and seemed to identify with the Mad Hatter, who also suffered from mercury poisoning.
