Written and illustrated by the HRH the Prince of Wales, this is the adventure of an old man who lives in a cave by the Loch of Lochnagar. He pulls the plug again, flooding the area and putting out the fire, while protecting the pixies' underground home from further damage. The Prince and Princess take the Old Man back outside but, to their shock, the whole world seems to be on fire.

It is often reported how much the Royal family enjoy their private family time at Balmoral, so I wonder if the old man and King Charles feel the same way about living there.
