John Buchan

And we are back to the Folio Society collection.

I was introduced to John Buchan by a teacher at school when I was ten.  We had to copy out a passage from "The Thirty Nine Steps" in our handwriting class.  It was so interesting that I decided to read the rest of the book.  I don't know why so many people have filmed that book but none of the others.  They are all solid adventure tales with firm jawed heroes and dastardly villains.
