S. (Alexander Stuart) 1854 1930 Boyd, Alexander Stuart The Shoes of Fortune Produced by David Widger "The Shoes of Fortune" by Neil Munro is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. It follows the journey of Paul Greig, a Scottish lad who, after a series of fateful accidents and misadventures, finds himself fleeing his homeland and starting anew. The narrative intertwines themes of love, regret, and the quest for identity amid the backdrop of adventure across land and sea. At the start of the story, Paul Greig reflects on how a simple incident—a landlady's burnt batch of scones—set off a chain of events that drastically changed the course of his life. Caught in a frivolous snowball fight that leads to his expulsion from college, he returns to his family's estate, Hazel Den, only to feel trapped in the mundane rhythm of rural life. Paul struggles with feelings of inadequacy, particularly during encounters with Isobel Fortune, his childhood acquaintance, and his uncle Andrew, a roguish figure whose return to the family home brings both intrigue and distraction. The opening chapters establish a rich tapestry of character interactions and emotional stakes, setting the stage for the adventures that await Paul as he seeks to escape his fate.
