John Buchan

The Runagates Club John Buchan

The stories are "pleasingly diverse in subject, incident and treatment" according to a contemporary reviewer in the Times Literary Supplement. Discussing The Runagates Club, Brian Stableford praised "The Green Wildebeest" as "a well-executed story". Stableford also described "Skule Skerry", "Tendebant Manus", and "Fullcircle" as "tales of subtle hauntings, told with a delicacy with Buchan rarely bothered to bring to his hurriedly-penned novels."
