Classic John Buchan Stories

Some great and varied short stories written by The 39 Steps thriller writer, John Buchan. Perhaps best remembered for 'The 39 Steps', John Buchan also wrote several collections of short stories. In this selection, tales about war-time code-breaking (echoing Buchan's own experience as an Intelligence Officer in WW1), cannibalism, and swashbuckling adventure in the days of Bonnie Prince Charlie, vie with subtler, more intimate, stories about the vagaries of human nature, politics, fishing, and poaching in the Lowland Scotland of Buchan's youth.
