'Forever associated with the classic thriller The Thirty-nine Steps, Buchan wrote over a hundred book, including a series of 'shockers' as he called them, children's books, and tales of the supernatural. He also wrote biographies and was the author of what many regard as the finest history every written of the First World War. A man of formidable energy, he had a distinguished carrer in public life. He ran of the Ministry of Information during the First World War, and after eight years as a Conservative MP he ended his career as Lord Tweedsmuir, Governor-General of Canada. In the first biography for thirty years, Andrew Lownie has been able to draw on private papers never before used, which have enabled him to paint a compelling picture of Buchan's life, and a panoramic view of political, social and literary circles during the first half of the twentieth century.' 364 pages. 6 x 9.25 inches.
