Product Information
John Buchan's name is known across the world for The Thirty-Nine Steps . In the past hundred years the classic thriller has never been out of print and has inspired numerous adaptations for film, television, radio and stage, beginning with the celebrated version by Alfred Hitchcock. Yet there was vastly more to 'JB'. He wrote more than a hundred books - fiction and non-fiction - and a thousand articles for newspapers and magazines. He was a scholar, antiquarian, barrister, colonial administrator, journal editor, literary critic, publisher, war correspondent, director of wartime propaganda, member of parliament and imperial proconsul - given a state funeral when he died, a deeply admired and loved Governor-General of Canada. His teenage years in Glasgow's Gorbals, where his father was the Free Church minister, contributed to his ease with shepherds and ambassadors, fur-trappers and prime ministers. His improbable marriage to a member of the aristocratic Grosvenor family means that this account of his life contains, at its heart, an enduring love story. Ursula Buchan, his granddaughter, has drawn on recently discovered family documents to write this comprehensive and illuminating biography. With perception, style, wit and a penetratingly clear eye, she brings vividly to life this remarkable man and his times.

Reviews
John Buchan was a writer of considerable significance but he was also a man who led a remarkable public life. This magnificent biography leads us through that life with great style and understanding, "Meticulously researched, gripping, and often humorous." -- Country Life on A GREEN AND PLEASANT LAND "Elegantly written and rich." -- The Spectator on A GREEN AND PLEASANT LAND "[An] engaging history . . . All sorts of people found solace in creating small regions of abundance and fertility, a counter to the annihilating wastefulness of war." -- The Observer on A GREEN AND PLEASANT LAND "A sensible and detailed account . . . studded with her pithy comments and aspersions." -- New York Times on GARDENING FOR PLEASURE, [An] outstanding biography ... Though factual, it reads like a big, rambling Victorian novel, and takes you, as novels do, into other people's lives, Apart from Buchan's relentless work ethic, what shines forth from these pages is his generosity of spirit ... Ursula Buchan shows a similar generosity of spirit in this wonderfully fluent biography, "[An] outstanding biography ... Though factual, it reads like a big, rambling Victorian novel, and takes you, as novels do, into other people's lives" -- Sunday Times "Page-turning, buccaneering stuff" -- The Times "Excellent ... [Ursula Buchan] gives us a strong sense of both the man and his milieu" -- Spectator "Apart from Buchan's relentless work ethic, what shines forth from these pages is his generosity of spirit ... Ursula Buchan shows a similar generosity of spirit in this wonderfully fluent biography" -- Financial Times "[Ursula Buchan] gives us a strong sense of both the man and his milieu ... She has written a good book about a good and extraordinary man who touched life at so many different points and adorned most of what he touched" -- Spectator "Illuminating" -- Country Life "The great strength of this book is to make Buchan not just the writer of "shockers", but a man whose influence helped change government policy ... Ursula Buchan has done an admirable piece of work ... She rightly puts his faith at the centre of the book and this lays a line towards a reimagination of Buchan" -- Yorkshire Post, "John Buchan was a writer of considerable significance but he was also a man who led a remarkable public life.

He emerges as a thoroughly decent man and she as a brilliant biographer" -- Standpoint "[An] exemplary, diligent biography" -- William Boyd, New Statesman "Ursula Buchan has written a superb biography...[She] combines an intimate understanding of her grandfather with a scholarly reading of the immense mass of his papers in a hugely enjoyable and rewarding biography of a man of many parts and remarkable energy.
