Adventures for Boys: John Buchan - Master of Suspense

Unfairly known as a one-hit wonder for his noirish novel The Thirty-Nine Steps, it tells the story of the real John Buchan, affording him the attention he has long deserved. Drawing on both his published works and his private correspondence and papers, with unique access provided by his latest biographer, is the first full television profile of an extraordinary man.
