First published under the title 'Son Of Adam'.
This is the story of the life of a small boy from earliest childhood to the age of about fourteen at his family home in Dumfriesshire. The boy was Sir Denis Forman, the former chairman of Granada Television and chairman of the Royal Opera Board; the house was Craigielands, a beautiful Palladian mansion set in wooded parkland beside a lake and teeming with a rich variety of characters whom Sir Denis vividly brings to life . . .
Now a major David Puttnam film.
