Originally published in 1893, this novel was among the best-selling works of fiction of the decade. Set mostly in Galloway, in the south west of Scotland, these spirited tales offer an entertaining blend of wry humour, subtle pathos and social observation, told in energetic prose and vigorous Scots. This edition, with a new introduction by Andrew Nash, restores to print one of the key works of late nineteenth-century popular literature by one of Scotland's most successful and undervalued authors.
