Zahn se ouers is geskei toe sy en haar suster nog klein was, en haar pa het onlangs weer by hulle doen en late betrokke geraak. Hulle gaan vir die skoolvakansie kuier op ’n vakansieplaas in die Harkerville-woud, naby Plettenbergbaai, sodat hulle haar pa en sy nuwe vriendin, ’n juweliersware-ontwerper, beter kan leer ken. Die huis is spesiaal so gekies dat Zahn se perd, Brigadier, kon saamkom: Daar is stalle en ander perde en roetes vir uitritte in die bos in die omgewing. Sommer gou ontmoet Zahn twee plaaslike seuns wat haar saamnooi op ’n uitrit. Maar die oggend van die uitrit is dit mistig en reenerig, en Brigadier, wat die ooptes van Melkbosstrand gewoond is, is onrustig. Verder spook Sibella, die holistiese geneser wat in ’n kothuis op die plaas bly, se sydelingse opmerking oor naglopers ook nog by Zahn. Dit word ’n vakansie waarin geheime uitkom, raaisels opgelos word en ’n uitgebreide laslapgesin mekaar weer probeer vind.

Brigadier Gerard is an officer in Napoleon's army, recklessly brave, engagingly openhearted, and unshakable, if not a little absurd, in his devotion to the enigmatic Emperor. The Brigadier's wonderful comic adventures, long established in the affections of Conan Doyle's admirers as second only to those of the incomparable Holmes, are sure to find new devotees among the ardent fans.

The Adventures of Gerard is a compilation of short stories that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote regarding a French Brigadier named Etienne Gerard who thinks very highly of himself as can be reflected in how he told his stories. The book is divided into chapters containing different segments of his life as a soldier under the leadership of Napoleon together with his personal exploits and the romance that swept his way in between.
