THE SPANISH LETTERS

by Mollie Hunter ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 21, 1967

Secret underground passages, hidden tower rooms, blood feuds, duels and a sinister man in black are the elements of this fast-paced historical adventure. Jamie, a street-urchin member of the proud and independent Edinburgh ""caddies"" who guide strangers around the city for their living, leads an Englishman to the house of the fencing master and finds himself involved in a desperate effort to save Scotland and England from the treachery of the Catholic nobles and the ambition of the Spanish king in the sixteenth century. With the help of the indomitable caddies and the fencing master's plucky daughter, Jamie and the English stranger track down the conspirators, capture the Spanish letters and put down the revolt. This suspenseful tale proves that cloaks and daggers skillfully arranged are never out of style.
