Prester John - John Buchan - Bog

Growing up on the Scottish coast, Crawfurd sees two unlikely figures performing a bizarre ritual on the beach. Years later, Crawfurd encounters the same men, but this time in Africa... Crawfurd is thrown into the heart of an armed uprising, and finds his life in constant peril as he seeks to avert a war and find his fortune... Written by John Buchan, author of the classic The Thirty Nine Steps, Prester John is a classic adventure which still grips the reader today. The archive nature of the book does mean that some words, phrases and attitudes used in the book are very much of their time and would not be acceptable if used in the Twenty First Century.
