Trustee from the Toolroom/The Leopard/The Triumph of Surgery/From the Farm of Bitterness [antikvár]

>eith Stewart's well-ordered world revolved round his basement workshop. There he made his models—Httle engines, little clocks, all kinds of little things that worked. He led a happy, uneventful life until he unexpectedly became trustee and guardian for his ten-year-old niece—and the only person, as it happened, who suspected the whereabouts of a legacy of great importance to her. Keith was determined to track down this legacy, though his means were slight and his experience of the world outside England non-existent. Thus began the adventures of this mild, unassuming man, adventures that took him across half the world by air and sea, passed from hand to hand by new-found friends eager to help him on his mission. Trustee from the Toolroom is a deeply absorbing and winning story, filled with the goodness, the charity, and the best capabilities of man. "A grand, warm, well-planned novel" —George Millar in the Daily Express "There will never be novels like Shute's again" —David Holloway in the News Chronicle
