Plakos is a strange place, for the tides of civilisation and progress seem to have left it high and dry. It is a relic of old days, full of wild beliefs and pagan habits.'

Young Englishwoman Kore Arabin has inherited a remote Greek island, Plakos, from her unscrupulous father, who was reviled by the locals. The superstitious islanders blame Kore for every minor mishap and natural disaster, and they are about to sacrifice her as a witch in the sacred ground called 'The Dancing Floor'. Sir Edward Leithen and his acquaintance Vernon Milburne must save her.

The Dancing Floor is one of Buchan's most intriguing novels - a love story, a dramatic thriller and a tale of the clash between paganism and Christianity.

With an introduction by Robert Hardy.

This edition is authorised by the John Buchan Society.
