THAT versatile novelist, John Buchan -- who has taken time from his several vocations as lawyer, soldier, man of business, member of Parliament and Lord High. Kenneth Hillier January Those who love Georgette Heyer's Regency novels will find a lot to think about in Buchan's only Regency novel, The Free Fishers. Her dashing whips and Nonesuches are mirrored in Buchan's Sir Turnour Wyse, but he has more depth, more reality, than her two-dimensional frivolities. Kate Macdonald February
John Buchan was a Scottish diplomat, barrister, journalist, historian, poet and novelist. He published nearly 30 novels and seven collections of short stories. He was born in Perth, an eldest son, and studied at Glasgow and Oxford. In he became a barrister of the Middle Temple and a private secretary to the High Commissioner for South Africa. The plot of The Free Fishers follows a familiar Buchan theme, that of the ordinary man taken out of his normal sphere and catapulted into a world of adventure. Nanty (as he is known to his friends) finds himself pitted against a villain described as ‘the most dangerous man now alive on earth’ whose evil intention is eventually revealed as murder and the ruining of the reputation of an innocent lady. The Free Fishers is a novel by the Scottish author John Buchan, his last work of historical fiction.
