Growing up on the Scottish coast, Crawfurd sees two unlikely figures performing a bizarre ritual on the beach. Years later, Crawfurd encounters the same men, but this time in Africa... Crawfurd is thrown into the heart of an armed uprising, and finds his life in constant peril as he seeks to avert a war and find his fortune... Written by John Buchan, author of the classic The Thirty Nine Steps, Prester John is a classic adventure which still grips the reader today. The archive nature of the book does mean that some words, phrases and attitudes used in the book are very much of their time and would not be acceptable if used in the Twenty First Century.

Very Exciting, couldn't put it down
When I started reading this book, I could not put it down. It was so exciting, I read late into the night, and finished it in two days. When you start reading you will be interested in what will happen next, especially when the hero gets into the most enourmous problems. You just have to keep reading to see how he escapes, and what happens in the end. This book will please everyone! It is well written, entertaining, but is more than just a thriller. There is meaning to it, and the character is one with whom we can relate, not a super-hero like person who never gets tired, fails, or loses.
