May 2021

Though I had seen the 1959, James Mason, movie a few times, I had never read the book. I wanted to compare the book to the movie. They are quite different. In the book, the uncle and nephew are German, not Scottish. In the book, there is no sexy Swedish woman, no murderous Count Saknussemm, and no pet goose. There are many other differences as well. Though I guess I prefer the movie, the book was worth reading.
