The steep Approach to Garbadale

His name is Fielding Wopuld. But you needn't worry about him because he's just a convenient minor character to kick-start the saga of the Wopuld family business - we could call it Empire!, but that's the name of the board game that made their fortune. Anyway, there's Win, Beryl, Doris, Blake, Haydn, Sophie, Andy, Leah and dozens of others you won't remember, too.

Oh, and there's Alban, the handsome black sheep with the wispy beard - remind you of anyone? - who left the company to become a forester a few years back and whom Fielding is now collecting to go to the Extraordinary General Meeting in Garbadale where the Wopulds are voting on whether to sell the firm to the US Spraint Corporation.
