Publisher's Synopsis
When Peter Jones visited his old Uncle Don, in the Welsh Marches, he looked forward to a trip down memory lane. Why did his Uncle want to see him? What was his Uncle's relationship to a certain law firm? What was his relationship to a dusty grey book? Why was his Aunt Sylvia so obnoxious? Peter's family were not able to help him find out what kind of man his Uncle really was, but then his family provided very little help with anything. Despite all his frustrations, help did come from unlikely sources. Peter did find out who his friends were but he was unable to find out very much else. He did make a difference to the lives of all those he cared about. He may even have affected the lives of many more. None of these things really mattered that much because they were hardly his failings at all. There seems to be only one important question, worth asking: would his Uncle Don have been proud of him? We are left with the distinct impression that he would have been very proud of Peter and his plans. Like his Uncle, Peter and his plans were very good indeed.
