About this listen

Hannay—His 5 Adventures

By John Buchan

Narrated by Graham Scott

The listener can now enjoy all five adventures of Buchan's indefatigable hero Richard Hannay in one bundle.

First, in The Thirty-Nine Steps, Hannay struggles to thwart an assassination plot designed to hasten war between Britain and Germany. Later he is plucked from the trenches first, in Greenmantle, to frustrate a plot to ferment an uprising in the Islamic world; and then, in Mr. Standfast, to undertake a vital secret mission against a German spy ring operating among pacifist elements in England. After the war, his adventures continue in The Three Hostages when he reluctantly agrees to help recover the kidnapped children of three prominent men; and then in The Island of Sheep, when an old oath to protect the son of a friend from his days in Africa draws him into new danger.

John Buchan deserves to be read more widely. Very 1930's. The narrator has the perfect voice for these stories. Very enjoyable.

I love John Buchan books but hadn't read the Hannay stories saving them for a time when rest was inforced. I listened to these while reading the actual books a lot of the time but also when resting my eyes.

The narrator brought incredible life to the story and particular the characters

Great Stories - irritating narration

Great story but spoilt by intrusive poor or downright odd pronunciation. e.g. docile rhymed with fossil. And no attempt what ever to have a decent go at the Scottish hill names, calling Ben Bine for example. Disruptive to deep listening when you start your shout at your phone!

Awful pronunciation
