Jock is an old, angry and smelly Scottish goat farmer who is also a secret agent. On his first homeless day Jock McTavish gets soup and sandwiches from some kind people in Westminster, London. John Bulldog, the Deputy Prime Minister, has given Jock the job of finding homes for everyone without them. Jock has got to tell Bulldog how to do it at a meeting on the thirty nine steps in the Tower below Big Ben.
Though helped by a Soup Run and a Hostel, Jock is attacked by a street cleaning machine as he lies in a doorway, and later by a poisonous gas created by the evil Professor Fauvette-Graasmus. There is a thrilling climax to Jock’s fight against the wicked Professor at the Cherry Bright Human Being Lecture at the Globe Theatre, where hundreds of people are threatened with poison from a fog machine.
This funny non-PC story is for parents to read to their children. The book requires basic adult skills in reading and imitating urban Scottish, Freensh, Ozzie, Spanish, Cockney and posh English.
