Buchan John
Witch Wood
eBook
( Sept. 16, 2020)
Novel about mysterious events in seventeenth-century rural Scotland. At the time the novel appeared, Samuel Merwin commented that "His [Buchan's] knowledge and his sense of the past seem to me to find their best outlet in this new book... He has taken an old border legend, of a gentle country minister, supposed to have been spirited away by the fairies in the dark wood of Melanudrigill, and has breathed an astonishing life into it." (Saturday Review, 13 August 1927).
