Buchan's most popular character Richard Hannay battles an ancient curse in South Africa in ` The Green Wildebeest and Edward Leithen tags along in an assassins war in ` Sing a Song of Sixpence'. The Runagates Club features First World War spy and code - cracking thrillers ` The Loathly Opposite and ` Dr Lartius'; tales of supernatural possession in deepest Wales comfortable Oxfordshire and the House of Commons in ` The Wind in the Portico' Fullcircle and `\" Tendebant Manus\"'; and stories of survival in the far North and in Depression - era Canada with ` Skule Skerry and ` Ship to Tarshish'. There is farce too in ` The Frying - Pan and the Fire and `\" Divus\" Johnston' and the riotous journalistic romp of ` The Last Crusade is the last word on fake news for all eras. What makes The Runagates Club special is that Buchan designed it as a showcase to bring together the best of his magazine fiction. He repurposed these stories with new beginnings framing them as after - dinner stories told over the port in a late 1920s private gentleman's dining - club. This is interwar storytelling at its very best with a critical introduction by Kate Macdonald a leading authority on Buchan's writing.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Runagates Club\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Buchan John\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Handheld Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781999828011\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 280 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 10\/30\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\nSeries: Handheld Classics\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Horror \u0026amp; Ghost Stories","brand":"Buchan John","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49627675951409,"sku":"IN-G-9781999828011","price":13.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781999828011.jpg?v=1724969914","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781999828011-the-runagates-club","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
