Netflix, in particular, has caught the anime bug. Updated by Kristy Ambrose on January 6th, 2021: The popularity of both anime and medieval fantasy has resulted in a huge boom for the genre that combines them both, with an equal amount of content produced and created in Japan and abroad.

For example, the character of Sandy Arbuthnot was inspired by Aubrey Herbert. In between, during the first half of 1916, he worked on Greenmantle, his second novel featuring the character Richard Hannay.Ĭharacters and events in Greenmantle draw strongly on real life events. In June 1916 he was appointed Director of the Department of Information. In May 1915 he was there as a special correspondent for The Times and in October the same year, this time in uniform, as a Lieutenant in the Intelligence Corps. I will be posting my review of the book later in the month.Īlthough Buchan did not see active military service in World War One, he visited the Western Front on a number of occasions. ![]() It is also an excuse to show off a picture of my 1950 Hodder & Stoughton edition of Greenmantle complete with dust jacket.
