Synopsis

Patsy is a novel written by Samuel Rutherford Crockett in 1912. The story is set in a small Scottish village and follows the life of a young girl named Patsy. Patsy is an orphan who lives with her grandfather, a stern and religious man who disapproves of Patsy's free-spirited nature. Despite her grandfather's disapproval, Patsy is determined to live life on her own terms and dreams of escaping the village and exploring the world. As she grows up, Patsy finds herself torn between her desire for adventure and her sense of duty to her grandfather. Along the way, she falls in love with a local boy named Tam, but their relationship is threatened by the disapproval of their families. Patsy's journey takes her through a series of trials and tribulations, including the death of her grandfather, the loss of her home, and the challenges of making a life for herself in the wider world. Through it all, Patsy remains determined and resilient, refusing to be held back by the expectations of others.Filled with vivid descriptions of Scottish village life, Patsy is a charming and engaging novel that explores themes of love, duty, and the pursuit of happiness. Crockett's writing is lyrical and evocative, capturing the beauty and complexity of life in a small, close-knit community.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About this title

About the Author

S. R. (Saumel Rutherford) Crockett was a Scottish novelist who wrote over 40 works in the Kailyard School fashion, a style of writing developed in the late 1800s as a reaction against coarse representations of Scottish life. Crockett s contemporaries in the Kailyard School included J. M. Barrie, George MacDonald, and Ian Maclaren. Crockett s most popular work, The Raiders, captures the excitement and anxiety of Galloway smugglers. The Black Douglas was credited by J. R. R. Tolkien as an influence on his development of the character Sauron in his Lord of the Rings trilogy. S. R. Crockett died in France in 1914.
