About this ebook

The Moon Endureth, subtitled 'Tales and Fancies', is a 1912 short story and poetry collection by the Scottish author John Buchan. In its review of the first edition The Athenaeum noted "a marked leaning towards the mysterious and bizzare". The collection was said to show "considerable imagination, and occasionally a touch of delicate satire".

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.

    A collection of short stories with brief poetic pieces set between them. Several of the stories are quite interesting, even gripping. Others I found somewhat tiresome. Those that contain passages of almost inscrutable archaic Scottish dialent I found particularly difficult to warm to. The poetry is forgettable.
