John Buchan (1875 – 1940)

Born in Scotland, studied at the University of Glasgow and at Brasenose College, Oxford. He wrote: Sir Quixote of the Moors (1895), Scholar-Gipsies (1896), The Watcher by the Treshold (1902), The Thirty-Nine Steps (1915), Greenmantle (1916), The Dancing Floor (1926), The Gap in the Curtain (1932), The  House of the Four Winds (1935), etc.

He bent his wise brows on the assembly.
