samuel rutherford crockett

Samuel Rutherford Crockett (September 24, 1860 - April 16, 1914), Scottish novelist, was born at Duchrae, Galloway, the son of a Galloway farmer. He was brought up on a Galloway farm, and graduated from Edinburgh University in 1879. After some years of travel he became in 1886 minister of Penicuik, but eventually abandoned the Free Church ministry for novel-writing. The success of Mr JM Barrie and the Kailyard school of writing had created a demand for stories in Scots when Mr Crockett published his successful story of The Stickit Minister in 1893. It was followed by a rapidly produced series of popular novels dealing often with the past history of Scotland, or with his native Galloway. Such are:

The Raiders, The Lilac Sun-bonnet and Mad Sir Uchtred in 1894
The Men of the Moss Hags in 1895
Cleg Kelly and The Grey Man in 1896
The Surprising Adventures of Sir Toady Lion (1897)
The Red Axe (1898)
Kit Kennedy (1899)
Joan of the Sword Hand and Little Anna Mark in 1900
Flower o' the Corn (1902)
Red Cap Tales (1904)
