HRH Prince Charles' Enchanting Children's Book
“The Old Man of Lochnager”
As a student I had the unfortunate, or fortunate, habit of basically reading other books of interest whenever I went to the library to study.
One of the many memorable books I came across in the library was this one by then Prince Charles. I was impressed.
It is no small thing when a real artist becomes a head of state. To commemorate the event, I decided to find the book again today.
Written in 1980, “The Old Man of Lochnager” originated from bedtime stories King Charles III used to tell his younger brothers. It features the adventures of a cave dweller by the Loch of Lochnagar, a grouse guard, birds, fish, and little green Gorm.
Illustrated by Sir Hugh Casson, the book was made into a ballet that premiered in 2007 in London.
Here are some pages from it as well as a video of the animated short film version:
