The 39 Steps by John Buchan

Buy it from Hive.co.uk and support local booksellers 


As with Cold Comfort Farm this was in a boxed set of “Essential Penguins” and its inclusion also puzzles me a touch.

It has more than once been made into a film, and the plot in the hands of a Master film maker such as Hitchcock undoubtedly became a classic.

I enjoyed the book in the same way that I enjoy occasionally reading Biggles, and that feels like the appropriate company for it to keep.
