A Good Sequel
|
Nicola Morgan has followed her novel "The Highwayman`s Footsteps" by moving our heroes into Scotland with a tale of smuggling and adventure. The characters are well-drawn and the description of the scenery very picturesque. She has obviously been inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson - who would have enjoyed this novel - and Mark Twain.
