Kinloch Tales
The Collected Stories
Three of Denzil Meyrick’s widely popular Tales from Kinloch are collected here in one paperback volume. From ghostly Vikings, to adventurous voyages, to old scores being settled, these stories are guaranteed to provide a fun-filled escape.
From the author of the global best-selling DCI Daley detective books, this is a series of nostalgic, humorous stories for fans of Scottish fiction like Neil Munro’s Para Handy. The book contains three stories featuring Sandy Hoynes and the crew of the ‘Girl Maggie’: A Large Measure of Snow, A Toast to the Old Stones and Ghosts in the Gloaming.
