A rattling good yarn,
This review is from: The House Of The Four Winds (Paperback)
This appears to be one of the least known novels of Buchan, but it is a rattling good yarn. It is essentially a rehash of The Prisoner of Zenda, the novel by Anthony Hope that launched a fad for novels set in imaginary European nations.

Fun in Evallonia,
By
This review is from: The House Of The Four Winds (Paperback)
In the last of the Gorbals Die-Hards books, the familiar menage (consisting of Die-Hards Dougal and Jaikie, the retired grocer Dickson McCunn, honorary Die-Hard Alison Westwater, together with the Roylances and various Evallonians) retires to a fictional Eastern European country and find themselves playing an elaborate and dangerous practical joke on an entire country. What with overgrown Boy Scouts, a melodramatic and dynamic woman leader, scenery-chewing Communists, and an elephant named Aurunculeia, one is treated to the best in unashamedly flamboyant adventures. Read it.
