The Old Man Of Lochnagar
The Old Man of Lochnagar by Prince Charles is a charming 1980 hardcover picture book that introduces young readers to a kindly hermit living beside the Scottish loch. Written before he became King Charles III, this gentle bedtime tale sparkles with whimsical verse and playful Highland adventure.
Sir Hugh Casson’s lively watercolor illustrations fill every page, making the story a visual treat for ages 4-8 and collectors of royal memorabilia alike. The dust-jacketed, fully illustrated edition captures both the misty magic of Lochnagar and the future monarch’s storytelling warmth.
This used copy carries a neat gift inscription on the front inner cover, adding a personal touch without claiming royal authorship. Minor foxing to the preliminaries and light edge wear to the jacket are noted; inside, the pages remain crisp, bright, and tightly bound—ready for reading or display.
A delightful find for fans of British royalty, children’s classics, or antiquarian picture books, The Old Man of Lochnagar offers a timeless, read-aloud escape to the Scottish Highlands.
