The professional touch of David Walker will be familiar to readers of popular magazine fiction in this collection of his best short stories. Scotland, India, the Canadian Arctic form the background for many of these tales. Fans will remember Scot Geordle in Highland Games and Marcus Finigan, the Irish rapscallion who shoots tigers in India. Life here, as seen by a civilized and thoughtful gentleman, is somewhat surprising, somewhat and, attractive enough to get one through.
