THE ROCK OF RINTOUL tells the 5th episode in the Crispin series. In the summer of 1933 two challenges send young Crispin (now eleven) and his seven companions into the hill country and forests of Skarpingdin. They go to rescue the remaining Stern family from the menace of the Stealth Ravens, and to assist Crispin in taking his marvelous umbrella to the Rock of Rintoul to be restored, since it had been burnt and twisted at the climax of RAVENS AND MOTORCYCLES. Riding out on their hill ponies, following the Rintoul Track, they have no idea what lies in store for them.
