The House of the Four Winds by Dickson McCunn - Classic Adventure Novel | Historical Fiction Book for Adults | Perfect for Book Clubs & Literary Enthusiasts

In the last of the Gorbals Die-Hards books, the familiar menage (consisting of Die-Hards Dougal and Jaikie, the retired grocer Dickson McCunn, honorary Die-Hard Alison Westwater, together with the Roylances and various Evallonians) retires to a fictional Eastern European country and find themselves playing an elaborate and dangerous practical joke on an entire country. What with overgrown Boy Scouts, a melodramatic and dynamic woman leader, scenery-chewing Communists, and an elephant named Aurunculeia, one is treated to the best in unashamedly flamboyant adventures. Read it.
