Christopher Hamilton grew up in Galloway before moving to Florence, where he served as a goldsmith’s apprentice. Constitutionally unemployable, he now divides his time between London and Burano, near Venice, writing, translating, working in precious metals, and exploring the shallows with duck shooters and fishermen.

Briar Pipes v. Balkan Sobranies

Christopher Hamilton on John Buchan, Greenmantle and John Macnab

In the early 1960s my boyhood was enlivened by the novels of John Buchan (Lord Tweedsmuir, 1875–1940) and Dornford Yates (1885–1960). Their ‘clubland heroes’ were clean-cut ex-soldiers who spent their hols socking swarthy Balkan jaws with relative impunity before excellent Continental train services, or fast cars, whisked them home to play croquet and smoke cigars.
