Trade Review

Inspired by a real-life encounter one dark night on Edinburgh Castle Esplanade, this warm-hearted story is about a young, wild fox searching for a new home, Befriended by a cat - the unofficial mascot of the regiment - she settles into the rocks beneath the castle. Young rabbits provided easy hunting opportunities and plenty of tourists ensure lots of adventures whilst the famous Tattoo creates a dramatic finale to the story. CAROUSEL on The Tattoo Fox

The story of a fox living at Edinburgh Castle, and his adventures around the Military Tattoo, is a world away from Alasdair's first book, a military history of his former parachute battalion. But early indications are that the book could be a hit with young readers, following in the footsteps of local children's authors such as Debi Gliori and JK Rowling.
