Section A A24 The Moon Endureth (1912) A collection of 10 poems and 10 short stories with each poem being followed by a story.

The stories had all been published previously, mostly in magazines although the closing story had also appeared in Grey Weather (see A9 in JB guide 02). The US edition omits 3 of the stories and 2 of the poems but includes an additional story, Fountainblue, which had previously appeared in The Watcher by the Threshold (see A13 in JB guide 03).

Reading this was a bit like eating pancakes for lunch, they are filling, tasty with toppings, but don't give you much nutrition and you end up feeling hungry soon after, and wishing you'd eaten a BLT instead. The story suffers from exaggerated descriptions of its characters. The man appears to know of an anarchist plot to destabilise Europe, beginning with a plan to assassinate the Greek Premier, Constantine Karolides, during his forthcoming visit to London. On returning to Britain, Buchan built a successful career in publishing with Nelsons and Reuters. For instance, the kidnapper, Medina, is not just a good shot, he's the best shot in England next to the King. Sort order. Mr Standfast set in the later years of World War I. Greenmantle is the second of five novels by Buchan. The first remains the best, but the others, especially Greenmantle and Mr Standfast both war novels , are good too. This collection will go on my shelves with my complete Dashiell Hammett and Chandler. He is now best remembered for his adventure and spy thrillers, most notably The Thirty-Nine Steps.

  • John Buchan Wrote the Thirty-Nine Steps While He Was Ill in Bed with a Duodenal Ulcer, an Illness Which Remained with Him All His Life
    John Buchan wrote The Thirty-Nine Steps while he was ill in bed with a duodenal ulcer, an illness which remained with him all his life. The novel was his first ‘shocker’, as he called it — a story combining personal and political dramas. The novel marked a turning point in Buchan's literary career and introduced his famous adventuring hero, Richard Hannay. He described a ‘shocker’ as an adventure where the events in the story are unlikely and the reader is only just able to believe that they really happened. The Thirty-Nine Steps is one of the earliest examples of the 'man-on-the-run' thriller archetype subsequently adopted by Hollywood as an often-used plot device. In The Thirty-Nine Steps, Buchan holds up Richard Hannay as an example to his readers of an ordinary man who puts his country’s interests before his own safety. The story was a great success with the men in the First World War trenches. One soldier wrote to Buchan, "The story is greatly appreciated in the midst of mud and rain and shells, and all that could make trench life depressing." Richard Hannay continued his adventures in four subsequent books. Two were set during the war when Hannay continued his undercover work against the Germans and their allies The Turks in Greenmantle and Mr Standfast. The other two stories, The Three Hostages and The Island of Sheep were set in the post war period when Hannay's opponents were criminal gangs. There have been several film versions of the book; all depart substantially from the text, for example, by introducing a love interest absent from the original novel.

  • Popular Fiction: Detective Novels and Thrillers from Holmes to Rebus
    Popular Fiction: Detective Novels and Thrillers from Holmes to Rebus David Goldie Scottish writers have, at times, played a role in detective, adventure, and thriller writing that is out of proportion to the size of the nation. Though Scotland played no significant part in the twentieth- century’s so-called ‘Golden Age’ of crime fiction, which was dominated by English and American authors, its writers were influential in establishing the genre in the late nineteenth century and can, in the early twenty-first century, count among themselves some of its most popular global practitioners. This chapter may not be able to offer a satisfactory explanation of why this is the case – unfortunately literary criticism is rarely as tidy as fictional detective work – but it will offer an account of the somewhat punctuated evolution of crime and thriller fiction in the Scottish context in the period that runs from Conan Doyle to so-called Tartan Noir. Arthur Conan Doyle and Robert Louis Stevenson are Scottish writers who demand attention principally because of the impact their work had on a popular writing based on action and suspense, on psychological instability and the solving of puzzles. Conan Doyle’s place in the history of detective fiction needs little elaboration. Though he took up a genre that had been established in the 1830s and 40s by Vidocq’s Mémoires, the Newgate novels, and Edgar Allan Poe’s Dupin stories, and which had been experimented with variously by Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, and, most successfully, by Émile Gaboriau, Conan Doyle established in the popular mind the type of the detective story in its modern form.
