One of the greatest adventure stories ever written, freshly repackaged for a new generation of readers and featuring an exclusive introduction from the author’s grandson.

‘This latest edition of the novel has been redesigned, resulting in an authentic looking cloth-bound book ... Exciting and thrilling, this should be read by all.’- The Sun

‘A handsome new edition’ - The Tribune

Deemed one of the most popular adventure stories ever written and a huge influence not only on spy fiction but on Hollywood as well, The 39 Steps has captured the imagination of audiences for decades. This classic book was written by acclaimed Scottish author John Buchan, who inspired the writing of other great British novelists too, including Graham Greene, Ian Fleming and John le Carré.

The 39 Steps remains Buchan’s most famous work, the first of five novels featuring Richard Hannay, an all-action hero with a steely determination and an extraordinary knack for getting himself out of sticky situations. Considered one of the most exciting ‘chase thrillers’ ever published, this is an electrifying story of an ordinary man caught up in a sinister international plot full of car crashes, code-breaking and political intrigue.

The novel has never been out of print since its first publication in 1915 and has sold millions of copies. Now repackaged as a striking hardback and with an exclusive introduction from the author’s grandson, this is an edition to be cherished both by fans of the book and by anyone discovering Buchan’s work for the first time.
