Any Broken Biscuits? tells the story of David's experience of growing up in Lanarkshire in the Fifties. As part of a large family, life was never dull for the young lad. 
David, his friends and family didn't have a lot, so they made their own entertainment. They created their own games, found mischief, visited relatives and attended Sunday school. Best of all was the idyllic summer holidays spent on a farm in Aberdeenshire. 
It was a life of innocence, laughter and joy surrounded by great characters like the 'Oul Man', 'Benachie Mam' and the ladies of the bakery who frequently heard the plaintive cry "Any Broken Biscuits?". 
This is a book for those who remember those simpler times and the happiness it brought.

“Wonderfully interesting book about the underbelly of the royal family.” Lesa Einwich – Librarian “Such an interesting insight into a particularly secretive part of the British Royal family.” Georgia Grantham Over the last century the British Royal Family have benefited from special privileges like secret wills to keep their private wealth away from public scrutiny. How can Prince Charles afford to live so lavishly - many ask - and how is the Queen able to bankroll other members of her family? With the discovery of unpublished royal wills, little-known royal auction records and recently-released Treasury papers, David McClure has pieced together a mosaic of the landed property, jewellery and artworks that together forms the bedrock of the royal family’s inherited fortune. But like all inheritance tales it’s also a highly human story full of greedy relatives, family splits and skeletons in the closet – and one made all the more timely by the current succession process whereby the Queen hands over some royal duties to the younger generation. Nosy and irreverent, Royal Legacy takes a peek behind the palace curtains.
