Bog-Myrtle and Peat: Tales Chiefly of Galloway, Gathered in the Years 1889 to 1895

According to Wikipedia: "Samuel Rutherford Crockett (24 September 1859 – 16 April 1914) was a Scottish novelist, born at Duchrae, Galloway, the son of a farmer. He was raised on a Galloway farm, and graduated from Edinburgh University during 1879. After some years of travel he became in 1886 minister of Penicuik. During that year he produced his first publication, Dulce Cor, a collection of verse. He eventually abandoned the Free Church ministry for novel-writing. The success of J.M. Barrie and the Kailyard school of sentimental, homey writing had created a demand for stories in Lowland Scots when Mr Crockett published his successful story of The Stickit Minister during 1893. It was followed by a rapidly produced series of popular novels frequently featuring the history of Scotland or his native Galloway."
