About this product

Product Information

Major General Sir Richard Hannay is the fictional secret agent created by writer and diplomat John Buchan, who was himself an Intelligence officer during the First World War. The strong and silent type, combining the dour temperament of the Scot with the stiff upper lip of the Englishman, Hannay is pre-eminent among early spy-thriller heroes. Caught up in the first of these five gripping adventures just before the outbreak of war in 1914, he manages to thwart the enemy's evil plan and solve the mystery of the 'thirty-nine steps'. In Greenmantle, he undertakes a vital mission to prevent jihad in the Islamic Near East. Mr Standfast, set in the decisive months of 1917-18, is the novel in which Hannay, after a life lived 'wholly among men', finally falls in love; later, in The Three Hostages, he finds himself unravelling a kidnapping mystery with his wife's help. In the last adventure, The Island of Sheep, he is called upon to honour an old oath. A shrewd judge of men, he never dehumanises his enemy, and despite sharing some of the racial prejudices of his day, Richard Hannay is a worthy prototype hero of espionage fiction. Stories include: 'The Thirty-nine Steps' 'Greenmantle' 'Mr Standfast' 'The Three Hostages' 'The Island of Sheep' AUTHOR: John Buchan (1875-1940) was a Scottish writer of both fiction and non-fiction work. His most enduring work is 'The Thirty-Nine Steps', a ripping yarn featuring Richard Hannay, who went on to appear in a further four novels.

    Item was dispatched swiftly and was exactly as described. I was very impressed with the care and attention shown in the packaging of the item, with the seller supporting the book with multiple pieces of card to prevent bending during travel. It's these little details that really make for a quality experience, and I absolutely look forward to buying from them again! A+

    I met Purple fencercat for the first time last week in the magical wood. I told him I was looking for a particular CD and he miraculously manifested it out of thin air! He didn't ask much money for it and wrapped it all beautifully for me and sent it straight to my door in a matter of days. The CD is as described! He was so marvellous with the whole experience I shall return to Squeakycat again whenever I'm seeking a unique title of album or book or whatever. Highly recommend Squeakycat!

  • A Good Read

    This book is my introduction to John Buchan & although I have seen every film & TV version of The Thirty-Nine Steps it was watching the film Operation Mincemeat, with a character reading that novel, that made me look for a copy. I enjoy his writing style & Richard Hannay is an engaging character. One review described it as 'old-fashioned', it is not, written in 1915 &, set a year earlier when Europe's simmering tensions were about to explode into war, it was of its time. I have now read three of the five stories in this chunky volume & thoroughly enjoyed every one.
