Synopsis The Four Adventures of Richard Hannay by : John Buchan

John Buchan is the father of the modern spy thriller. This is so even though the Hannay books are not, strictly speaking, about spies at all in the professional sense of the word. They are about penetration of the enemy, about lonely escape and wild journeys, about the thin veneer that stands between civilsation and barbarism.

Synopsis The Adventures of the Sneeky Sneekers by : F A Randy Jaroch

The Adventures of the Sneeky Sneekers-the Trilogy, is storytelling at it's best. Children can identify with the Sneeky Sneekers. In a time when constant viewing of television acts to stifle a child's creativity, the stories promote a world where the fantasies of super powers - only to do good - come real for four brothers. The stories will encourage the use of a child's imagination. They have been most helpful for children with reading problems and appealing for the advanced younger reader. The stories are wholesome, family-oriented, and each adventure serves to teach a good lesson.

Synopsis The Thirty-Nine Steps (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition) by : John Buchan

As war looms in Europe, Richard Hannay returns from Rhodesia to his home in London. His neighbor, an American freelance spy named Franklin Scudder, claims to know of an assassination plot to destabilize Europe. When Hannay finds Scudder dead in his flat he is drawn into a fast-paced labyrinthine adventure that takes him from the hills of Scotland to an unassuming location by the sea. The progenitor of the classic man-on-the-run thriller, The Thirty-Nine Steps first appeared as a serial adventure story in Blackwood's Magazine from August to September 1915 and in book form in October of that year. Since its publication it has never been out of print and has been frequently adapted for television, radio, theater, and film, including, quite famously, a 1935 film directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
