Synopsis

From the cover: Let us join for a time a company of strolling players, and with them become enchanted with the world of make-believe in the isolated communities of the Highlands of Scotland. To this magical land comes Jonathan Harley, the famous actor, already very nearly spoiled by the applause of adoring audiences. Jonathan had the good fortune to fall into the company [of players who will teach him humility and his place in the world.] The lights dim; the prompter is in his corner and the curtain is about to go up.
