"The Runagates Club" is a 1928 compilation of twelve stories recounted as memories from John Buchan's most well-known characters. Set in the fictional Runagates Club in central London in the early 1930s, a dining club for exceptional gentleman. Each month they meet and take it in turn to entertain the group with a story. This is full of compact stories that showcase Buchan at his best, taut psychological thrillers, tales of daring do, occult goings-on and military victories against all odds. Several of the tales are retold by recurring characters in Buchan’s fiction, namely Richard Hannay, Sandy Arbuthnot, John Palliser-Yeates, Edward Leithen, and Charles Lamancha. The stories are entitled: “The Green Wildebeest: Sir Richard Hannay's Story”, “The Frying-Pan and the Fire: The Duke of Burminster's Story”, “Dr. Lartius: Mr. Pallister-Yeate's Story”, “The Wind in the Portico: Mr. Henry Nightingale's Story”, “Divus Johnson: Lord Lamancha's Story”, “The Last Crusade: Mr Francis Martendale's Story”, “Fullcircle: Mr Martin Peckwether's Story”, etc. John Buchan (1875 – 1940) was a Scottish historian, novelist, and politician who served as Governor General of Canada, the 15th since Canadian Confederation.
