Work Description
A (mis)adventure, which combines an old Scotsman, a British MP and others in a youth-led royalist revolution in Mittle Europe. Complete with a circus elephant, this is a fun read, but definitely inferior to Buchan's more famous works.
The main characters are a sequel from Huntingtower and Castle Gay.
