Dickson McCunn is an ordinary man from Glasgow, embarking on an extraordinary adventure. Newly retired, he’s not sure what’s next for him. As he takes a walk in the Highlands, he chooses an unexpected path that leads him in the heart of a strange fairytale. He meets a villain, a Russian princess, and funny companions. Dickson embarks on a quest straight out of a medieval novel; he must rescue a damsel in distress, held prisoner in Huntingtower. Because behind every retired grocer is a hero… right? This novel is fast paced and funny. The characters are flawed but deeply human and relatable. Anyone can fight against fear and tyranny, including a man who’s far from being unique. This story was written shortly after World War I and the Russian Revolution, so it has elements that may seem familiar to you. Leave your routine behind and join Dickson on this wild adventure full of surprises!
