About this ebook

A young man’s yearning for adventure draws him into jeopardy during the Jacobite Rebellion in this historical novel by the author of The Thirty-Nine Steps.

Once described as “a tale of adventure and betrayal on the long bloody road to Culloden Moor,” A Lost Lady of Old Years is set in Scotland during the Rebellion of 1745. Young Edinburgh-born Francis Birkenshaw cares nothing for the Jacobite cause until an encounter with the beautiful Mrs. Margaret Murray leads to a dangerous involvement with her husband, John Murray of Broughton, Bonnie Prince Charlie’s secretary and an infamous turncoat . . .

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.
