As Constable Nick awaits news of his future, he reminisces about times gone by in Aidensfield and recalls the variety of fairs he has attended. The arrival of a noisy fun fair sparked off a hunt for a missing schoolgirl thought to have run off with a fairground but her father had also vanished, and the discovery of a treasure trove and a long-dead body on the moors revived ancient memories of a mystery person going to Scarborough Fair. Dealing with these dilemmas, and more was all part of Constable Nick's duty as the village constable.
These stories are so pleasant to read. I enjoyed the one about the confusion of fayre and fair. The one about the lost bracelet and lost love was a bit much. I don't ever care about the ones in which Greengrass is the villain. I always wonder how much of these are based on actual incidents or are truly fiction. In any case, I am glad I have a few more to enjoy.
