El Ciervo de Robson
"Lord Hazelrod's explanation was not only plausible but also beautiful in its Biblical simplicity. Whether or not it could be proved to be true was unimportant." Unfortunately sceptical members of the Royal Society do not share the faith of young Trenton in his uncle's audacious theory. According to the famous scientist's calculations, the ghostly Robson's stag is only generated every six hundred years through an improbable series of accidents that include the detachment and movement of an ice mass from Alaska to California. The race to prove the appearance of a creature that does not yet exist prompts a harebrained adventure in the best tradition of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's satirical novels. The Robson Stag will surprise readers with its vigorous style, overflowing imagination and humour that is as fine an constant as the native Scottish rains of its main characters.
