Janet Adam Smith chronicles Buchan's remarkable journey from his Scottish Presbyterian upbringing to the heights of political and literary achievement, drawing on 125 illustrations that bring his era vividly to life. Best known as the author of The Thirty-Nine Steps, Buchan was a towering presence in early twentieth-century public life, and Smith captures the full sweep of his personal and professional world with authority and warmth. Written with the insight of a fellow Scottish literary figure, this compact but comprehensive volume illuminates the man behind the adventure stories, offering readers an intimate window into a defining period of British imperial history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956143141083,"sku":"2026100008560-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a6e7d1ba-20d1-403e-a0b6-831f6028fc86.png?v=1783498322","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008560-secondhand-john-buchan-and-his-world","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
