John Buchan

John Buchan was a Scottish diplomat, barrister, journalist, historian, poet and novelist. He published nearly 30 novels and seven collections of short stories. He was born in Perth, an eldest son, and studied at Glasgow and Oxford. In 1901 he became a barrister of the Middle Temple and a private secretary to the High Commissioner for South Africa. In 1907 he married Susan Charlotte Grosvenor and they subsequently had four children. After spells as a war correspondent, Lloyd George's Director of Information and Conservative MP, Buchan moved to Canada in 1935. He served as Governor General there until his death in 1940. Hew Strachan is Chichele Professor of the History of War at the University of Oxford; his research interests include military history from the 18th century to date, including contemporary strategic studies, but with particular interest in the First World War and in the history of the British Army.

    As usual with Buchan, a finely-written adventure story. This novel is set in the late seventeenth century in a Scotland riven by religious hatred. The descriptions of the landscape are as marvellous and engaging as ever, and right from the start one knows that the hero, Andrew Garvald, will win through and win the fair lassie. Still, that foreknowledge didn't in any way impair my enjoyment of the book.
