Tym

Not very good honestly, especially the last part。

Andrea Zuvich

Big royal fan here but I thought this was not as good as I expected and both my daughter and I found it a little uninteresting at times。 The illustrations were not very good, sadly。 Still, some aspects were entertaining and imaginative such as the little Gorms。

Found this book when we were having a clear out。 Gave it a read, it is a nice little story。 I remembered watching the animation on TV at my Nan's house when I was a child。 Found this book when we were having a clear out。 Gave it a read, it is a nice little story。 I remembered watching the animation on TV at my Nan's house when I was a child。 。。。more

A delightful tale of an old man and his adventure, an adventure commenced quite by accident, or fate if one wished to say。 Published 40 years ago, this tale makes a wonderful read for one's children or grandchildren。 It is divided into 6 sections/chapters complete with colorful illustrations。 Probably a 3。5 for adults, but much higher depending on the ages of the children readers involved。 Prince Charles must have enjoyed working on this story。 A delightful tale of an old man and his adventure, an adventure commenced quite by accident, or fate if one wished to say。 Published 40 years ago, this tale makes a wonderful read for one's children or grandchildren。 It is divided into 6 sections/chapters complete with colorful illustrations。 Probably a 3。5 for adults, but much higher depending on the ages of the children readers involved。 Prince Charles must have enjoyed working on this story。 。。。more

I loved this book as a child

Judy

rating: 1。5An odd little tale with several vague adventures, but not appealing。 A child who's visited Lochnagar might be able to relate to parts of the story。The sprinklings of humor should be nourished and given room to sprout。 rating: 1。5An odd little tale with several vague adventures, but not appealing。 A child who's visited Lochnagar might be able to relate to parts of the story。The sprinklings of humor should be nourished and given room to sprout。 。。。more

I ran across a reference to this in another book I read recently, and thought it might be fun to read。 And it was。 It is an entirely ridiculous story about an old man who lives in a Scottish cave, and the completely fantastical adventures he has。 Great for reading aloud to young children, especially as it can be broken up into several "episodes"。 I ran across a reference to this in another book I read recently, and thought it might be fun to read。 And it was。 It is an entirely ridiculous story about an old man who lives in a Scottish cave, and the completely fantastical adventures he has。 Great for reading aloud to young children, especially as it can be broken up into several "episodes"。 。。。more

Potentially the best, certainly the silliest, book I've read this year。My favourite line:'The old man had a slight hangover after all the Loch-haggis he had eaten and he sat holding his head in his hands。 Then he held it in his feet and, finally, between his teeth, to see if it felt any better that way。' Potentially the best, certainly the silliest, book I've read this year。My favourite line:'The old man had a slight hangover after all the Loch-haggis he had eaten and he sat holding his head in his hands。 Then he held it in his feet and, finally, between his teeth, to see if it felt any better that way。' 。。。more

Prince Charles' quirky and funny picture book passed my family by when my children were young, but they would have loved this fantastical tale full of clever word play and delightful images。 Bagpipes that both flush the loo and play a tune。。。 Brilliant。 Rather an abrupt ending as if Charkes suddenly ran out of time or was summoned to do something serious! Let's hope he finds time to read it to his new grandchildren!

Polly

A quirky and delightful story, with excellent pictures。

Kim

I was given this book about 20 years ago and I remember enjoying reading it many times。 It was a novelty to have a book written by a Prince and I only recalled it today。

Ken

Had to read this as we were staying at Loch Muick and Lochnagar。Interesting to see another side to Price Charles
