Buchan skilfully weaves the story of young clerk Peter Pentecost, who has a claim to the throne, and a tale of intrigue against King Henry VIII, where ’under the blanket of the dark all men are alike and all are nameless’. With an introduction by Robert Hutchinson.

The Dancing Floor is one of Buchan’s most unusual and surprising tales. His characters, including the familiar Leithen who features in all four novels of the series, find themselves in a religious war of sorts in Greece. His descriptions of the island setting, the flora and fauna are magical, but terrible things are about to happen . . .    

The rivalry of two cousins results in treachery, betrayal and a desperate struggle for survival. With an introduction by Tam Dalyell.

This novel is a light interlude within the Leithen Stories series – an evocative look at the hunting, shooting and fishing lifestyle in Highland Scotland.

Regarded by many critics as one of the finest historical novels ever written, Midwinter tells the tale of Alastair Maclean, confidant of Prince Charles Edward Stuart, who embarks on a secret mission to raise support for the Jacobite cause in the west of England. With an introduction by Stuart Kelly.

The Power-House is a classic Buchan thriller – one of the best. The hero, Leithen, is often considered to be Buchan’s altar ego.     

Sick Heart River is both John Buchan’s most powerful novel and his last, with perhaps the most autobiographical of his characters.    

Buchan’s favourite of all his novels, Witch Wood deals with the hypocrisy that can lie beneath god-fearing respectability. The book is set in the terrifying times of the first half of the seventeenth century when the Church of Scotland unleashed a wave of cruelty and intolerance. Minister Sempill witnesses devil worship in the ’Witch Wood’ and is persecuted. With an introduction by Allan Massie.
