In this collection of fifty-one tales from the land of galloway, Alan Temperley pays tribute to the great Scottish tradition of storytelling. Originally these traditional tales - ranging from rustic comedy to horrific murder - were told in crofts and rural cottages.

Harry's arch-enemy, Gestapo Lil, is causing trouble again. After Harry's aunts and their gang put Lil's slimy accomplice in jail, Lil swore to get revenge... Gestapo Lil and her cronies are after stash of fabulous hidden treasure - and only Harry and his friends are standing in her way...

When Harry's sent to stay with his great-aunts at Lagg hall, he thinks he is in for a really dull time. But Auntie Florrie, Aunt Bridget and their elderly friends aren't quite as Harry expects them to be. Aren't they too old to be driving fast cars and climbing trees?

This original collection has been constantly in deman since its first publication over twenty years ago. Temperley is a leading children's writer one of whose books is about to be made into a TV series in the UK.
