John Macnab by John Buchan is a thrilling adventure of honor, disguise, and the wild Scottish Highlands. Three bored, high-society gentlemen—Lord Lamancha, Sir Edward Leithen, and Charles Lamancha—seek excitement by adopting the outlaw alias "John Macnab" and issuing a bold challenge: to poach a stag from a guarded estate under the owners' noses. Their escapades blend cunning, danger, and humor, as they outwit gamekeepers and evade capture. But when a young woman and a suspicious host enter the fray, the stakes rise. Celebrating freedom, integrity, and love for the land, John Macnab is a masterful blend of suspense and wit—a classic tale of adventure born from restlessness and the spirit of the chase.
