For the first time in our country, an amazing historical-fiction novel by the outstanding English politician and writer, master of “scary” and espionage stories, John Buchan, is being published as a separate publication. The author invites us to plunge into the atmosphere of Scotland in the 17th century, an era when brother went against brother in a bloody civil war, and the hypocritical church tried to strengthen its power over the dark people who still celebrated pagan rituals in the forbidden forests... But there was a place for both feat and glory ... and magic! The wonderful British writer is not favored by Russian publishers; It's time to correct this injustice! Moreover, the novel “The Forbidden Forest” was included by the great Michael Moorcock in the list of “One Hundred Greatest Fantasy Novels of All Time.”
