Synopsis

In his extraordinary anthology, "World War One - Ultimate Collection," John Buchan masterfully compiles nine of his seminal works that capture the essence of the First World War. The collection encompasses a rich tapestry of narratives, blending historical realism and vivid imagination, presenting both the harrowing experiences of soldiers and the chilling atmosphere of the Home Front. Buchan's literary style is characterized by its gripping prose and keen psychological insight, reflecting the complexities of human emotions amid the backdrop of war. Set against the broader literary context of early 20th-century literature, this collection resonates with the trauma and disillusionment that defined the era. John Buchan, a Scottish novelist, historian, and politician, possessed a profound understanding of the socio-political dynamics of his time, which deeply informed his writing. His own experiences as an intelligence officer during the war imbued his narratives with authenticity and authority. Buchan's literary prowess was further honed by his earlier works, demonstrating his ability to intertwine thrilling adventure with penetrating social commentary, a hallmark of his lasting contributions to literature. "World War One - Ultimate Collection" is essential reading for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of the Great War's impact on society and the individual psyche. Buchan's powerful storytelling not only entertains but also provides critical reflections on the moral dilemmas and existential questions that arise in times of conflict. This collection invites readers to contemplate the costs of war, ensuring its relevance for contemporary audiences.

    He’s arrogant and handsome… But is he a spy? 
    Miss Caroline Barnes is shocked to discover she has a secret family she’s never met! Aristocratic Mr Hartwell tells her of her cousin’s lonely plight, and Caroline reluctantly agrees to visit Julia at the gothic sounding Canons Grange.

It would be perfect if not for the vexing Robert Hartwell, with his cryptic knowledge of details about the war and furtive nighttime activity.

    With spies, the Napoleonic war, and warring siblings, The Country Cousins is a standalone romance featuring cameos of beloved characters, human and animal, from The Country Gentleman. A sweet and clean romance perfect for fans of charmingly detailed historical romance like those by Georgette Heyer and Mimi Matthews.
