Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Huntingtower" by John Buchan is a novel published in 1922. Retired Glasgow grocer Dickson McCunn embarks on a walking holiday in Scotland, only to stumble upon a Russian princess imprisoned in a mysterious house. With help from a young poet and a scrappy gang of Glasgow street urchins called the Gorbals Die-Hards, McCunn must protect her from Bolshevik enemies arriving by sea. This fairytale-like adventure blends ordinary courage with international intrigue in post-Revolution turmoil.
