Another great John Buchan deventure

"The Free Fishers" is a lesser known but nevertheless great and exciting John Buchan adventure. It belongs to those historical adventures of his (like "Witchwood") which have an 18th century setting and Scottish connection but it is as enjoyable to read and entertaining as his better known, more modern thrillers written in the early part of the 20th century such as "The Thirty Nine Steps" or (my favorite) "Greenmantle." Exciting and mysterious doings on the lonely wilds of Hungrygrain and at the Merry Mouth, with heroes and villains not exactly who they seem to be.
