The Old Man of Lochnagar Paperback – 1 Aug. 1991
Purchase options and add-ons
"Not all that long ago, when children were even smaller and people had especially hairy knees, there lived an old man of Lochnagar."
Written by HRH the Prince of Wales, before he became King Charles III, this timeless adventure is filled with wild imagination, invention and storytelling joy. It introduces the old man of Lochnagar - a delightfully energetic and carefree character who roams the hills and lochs around Balmoral, interacting with the birds and fish, and also the stranger, secret inhabitants of the locality. It's a celebration of the natural world, and a flight of pure fantasy - a heartwarming glimpse into the imaginary world of the future King. The story is brought to life with wistful, evocative illustrations from Sir Hugh Casson K.C.V.O.

Zur Geschichte möchte ich nicht viel sagen, hauptsächlich handelt es von einem alten Mann, der es letztendlich - trotz all dem Spannenden, was in der Welt passiert - in seiner Heimat am schönsten findet: "He couldn't think of anywhere more special to be, than to be living at the foot of Lochnagar." (was man auch fast schon nachvollziehen kann, wenn man die Royal Deeside hat kennen lernen dürfen). Ein bisschen erinnert mich die Geschichte - vom Sinn und Schreibstil her - an den Kleinen Prinzen.
Ich denke es lohnt sich das Buch zu lesen, auch ohne ein "Fan" der Royals zu sein. Zu bedenken ist höchstens noch, dass nicht alle Wörter in (selbst guten und umfangreichen) Englisch-Wörterbüchern zu finden sind; um den Inhalt und den Sinn des Buches zu verstehen, ist dies aber nicht nötig.
Purchased for my sister (early Christmas shopping) who is a huge royal fan so this will be a nice addition to her collection of memorabilia.
