enjoyed this story a lot, a time-slip tale between contemporary Scotland and the Jacobite rising. There is a particularly gruesome school assembly scene.

Just as quirky and surprising and the first Hob story...but with that familiar way Hob has for comfort. This story was nearly bewitching with it's magical foreboding...and the final "nemesis" turns out not to be at all monsterous, just a loving bond.

A fantastic combo of clear innocence and creepiness!
