John Buchan

John Macnab

Buchan knew that you can't buck the consequences of your actions, and that your life is what you make of it. Perhaps his peculiarly Scottish combination of Romanticism and Calvinism — daring living and high thinking — is due to return to fashion.' — The Independent Magazine In 1925, John Buchan published his second most famous novel, “John MacNab”; three high-flying men — a barrister, a cabinet minister and a banker — are suffering from boredom. They concoct a plan to cure it. They inform three Scottish estates that they will poach from each two stags and a salmon in a given time. They sign collectively as 'John McNab' and await the responses. This novel is a light interlude within the “Leithen Stories” series — an evocative look at the hunting, shooting and fishing lifestyle in Highland Scotland. Introduction by Andrew Greig.
