A hitherto unidentified pornographic manuscript of Robert Burns is situated in the effects of an dead schoolmaster of impeccable reputation. Potential Arbuthnot, an Edinburgh lawyer and a wealthy man, who at age sixty has a rampant urge for food for the pleasures of the flesh, requires charge of computer. As the manuscript is lost, found again, taken, and variously shuttles back and forth, the infection of its bawdiness creates havoc in Edinburgh. It's ultimate fate is only determined after some bizarre ventures. Part farce, part satire on manners and interpersonal attitudes, The Merry Muse sparkles from starting to end. It's the work of an expert, written at the height of his capabilities. Eric Linklater (1899-1974) wrote scores of books for individuals and children. He was also a journalist in India, commander of an wartime fortress in the Orkney Islands, and rector of Aberdeen University.
