The Thirty-Nine Steps by John Buchan (Pan, 1967)

From the Green Shed:


THE THIRTY-NINE STEPS
a story of adventure which for sheer excitement has never been surpassed

'Remains the definitive story of espionage, intrigue and pursuit - terse, taut, endlessly inventive, and as delightfully fresh as the day it was written'
NEW YORK TIMES
Pan doesn't bother describing the story on the back cover of this book. After all, the plot is well known--having been adapted for film, television and radio. Instead it tells potential readers how good it is.  And it is--one of the classics!
