The Stone | Nigel G. Tranter
Pickpick

I‘m used to Nigel Tranter‘s books being set in the distant past, so it was a bit jarring for this one to be set in the present day, or at least the present day at the time of publication. Eventually I did settle in and found this a good book. I wouldn‘t really consider this a book for learning about the history of the Stone, as I thought it might be from the summary. It‘s a light adventure story, I guess, with a satisfying resolution.
