Review: A delicious tale that will take your mind up and down a mountain

In the very best sense of the phrase 'Culloo' is a gentle and yet compelling read - right from opening up at page one I found myself turning the page to find out 'what next?' and 'why?'. The storyline includes protagonists that I cared about, it includes bears, poachers and peril - plus a trip around a mountainside that was described in just enough detail to let me imagine it for myself. The author here has the knack of Enid Blyton; this is a tale for younger people that octogenarians will cheerfully sink into and thoroughly enjoy. By the end of the book not only had I taken some exercise but I wanted to know even more about the characters and the mythology. Reading this book was exactly what such a book should be - a holiday from my own reality. Heartily recommended.
