He eventually wrote propaganda for the British war effort during World War I. He was elected Member of Parliament for the Combined Scottish Universities in 1927, but he spent most of his time on his writing career, notably writing The Thirty-Nine Steps and other adventure fiction. In 1935, King George V, on the advice of Prime Minister R. B. Bennett, appointed Buchan to replace the Earl of Bessborough as Governor General of Canada, for which purpose Buchan was raised to the peerage. He occupied the post until his death in 1940.Buchan was enthusiastic about literacy and the development of Canadian culture, and he received a state funeral in Canada before his ashes were returned to the United Kingdom.

Описание: During the past year, in the intervals of an active life, I have amused myself withconstructing this tale. It has been scribbled in every kind of odd place and moment-in Englandand abroad, during long journeys, in half-hours between graver tasks; and it bears, I fear, themark of its gipsy begetting. But it has amused me to write, and I shall be well repaid if it amusesyou-and a few others-to read.
