Books by John Buchan a review by Laurie Bluedorn We spent last winter with John Buchan (1875-1940). Not with him personally, but with his books. His are the kind of books that if you read one, you HAVE to read them all. We started with The 39 Steps which is the first book in the Richard Hannay series. Next comes Greenmantle, Mr. Standfast, Three Hostages, and The Island of the Sheep. One would classify these books as "spy stories," but they will also appeal to those who enjoy historical fiction. They are packed with W.W.I history. Written with lots of English and Scottish dialog (for those who like to ham it up while reading to the kids), Buchan's style is lively and not for those whose diet consists mostly of Janette Oake. After you've read the Hannay series, try Witchwood. Set in 17th century Scotland, this novel reveals some history you'll never read about in your average social studies text book. You will have a hard time finding the Buchan books at your local library. They were all written around the time of W.W.I and are mostly out of print. Try your library's interlibrary loan system.

Canada's Christian Heritage John Bushan, Lord Tweedsmuir of Elsfield "He was the Christian statesman extraordinaire" A Pilgrim's Progress By: George Grant L ike one his best-selling novels, the life of John Buchan was full of adventure and achievement. He was one of the most accomplished men of the twentieth century: a successful barrister, a respected scholar, a popular journalist, a trusted diplomat, a prolific author, an efficient colonial administrator, an innovative publisher, a progressive politician, a relentless reformer, and active churchman, and Canada’s governor-general from 1935 to 1940. Best known for his historical romances and thrilling spy novels—he practically invented the genre—he was also the author of more than a hundred nonfiction works, including an authoritative multivolume history of the First World War and biographies of Oliver Cromwell, Caesar Augustus, Lord Montrose, and Walter Scott. Buchan was born in Scotland in 1875, the eldest son of a minister in the Presbyterian Free Church. His early years in the strict Calvinistic manse would shape his worldview and stimulate his imagination for the rest of his life. Following a brilliant academic career at Glasgow and Oxford—during which he wrote prolifically—he went to work as a lawyer in London. He nonetheless maintained his journalistic and literary interests, writing for Blackwood’s magazine and the Spectator. Always interested in politics, Buchan later accepted an invitation to join the staff of Lord Milner, the high commissioner of South Africa following the Boer War. Buchan’s efficient administrative reforms earned him renown as one of the British Empire’s finest correspondents.
