Fool's Errand

What if you suddenly discovered the man of your dreams...only to fall asleep? For Patrick Beaton, it means casting off on a quest for the elusive Scottish Prince who spoke a few words to him and disappeared into the mists of a dream. Reminiscent of Armistead Maupin's 'Tales of the City', Louis Bayard's debut novel is a sparkling romantic comedy, where plots take hairpin bends, disorder reigns and love triumphs - though in an unexpected way.
