About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Thirty-Nine Steps (Version 2) by John Buchan. Read in English by Tom Haire. Richard Hannay thirsts for adventure. Down and out in early retirement in South London, Hannay bores of the easy life. When Franklin Scudder reveals a secret ploy to set all of Europe to arms, Hannay finds his cure. With experience, intelligence, and a good deal of luck, Richard Hannay peels the layers one step at a time. (Summary by Tom Haire)
