The King of Scanlon's Rock

A Tale of Freedom, Liberty and Cornish Pasties

De: David Luddington

Narrado por: Finlay Robertson

Aging Rock God Jim Sullivan is heading for the quiet life on his tiny newly acquired island, off the coast of Cornwall. That is until he sends a letter to the King of England, announcing his intent to declare independence from the UK and appointing himself king.

Determined not to cede one inch of British territory, the UK government dispatches low-level Foreign Office researcher John Cabot to put a stop to Sullivan's ambitions.

What they didn't anticipate was Cabot's tenacity for unearthing information they'd rather he didn't, or Sullivan's relentless, but completely unfounded, optimism in his own ideas.

Armed with nothing more than a guitar and a spreadsheet, can these two stand up to the might of the British Empire?

No contest.

A wry and wonderful trip into the machinations of government and a hilarious tribute to rock gods!

From the buttoned world of Whitehall to the trickiness of Cornish landlords this was a fun ride! Read it, enjoy it - but you will be left wishing the book not finished …. I could happily listen to how the Kingdom of Scanlon’s Rock navigates itself through the EU and NATO - fertile ground for a sequel there!

Mr. Goodenough charges again.

Little Dibny gets a neighbor and Mr. Goodenough gets his rents in. Fun listen, excellently narrated, worth it.

More than expected

I was throughly prepared for a totally silly read, but this storyline had a bit of a credible angle to it. Bravo. A very enjoyable surprise.

The humor around the aging rock star.

Loved the small town characters. They were very familiar as if I’ve met some of them before

Enjoyable chaos

I think this book was the funniest of the series. So worth the time to listen and be entertained. My one suggestion is that in order to get the point of these books, one needs to have read Shrodengers Cottage

LOVE HIs STORIES

Sparkling whit, bright and colorful characters. The narrator is one of my favorite ever! An overall brilliant listen!
