Synopsis
‘We are well satisfied to have in a collected form tales of so much and so diverse merit. ‘Bog Myrtle and Peat’ is excellent from cover to cover, and will certainly increase the number of Mr Crockett’s admirers.’ An eclectic collection of stories and poems, which ranges from Galloway through Europe and even to the wilds of Siberia and Canada. In this collection S.R.Crockett is perhaps as close to ‘the Book of my Youth, of my Love, and of my Heart’ described in his Preface as he was ever to get. It lays bare the world of his imagination for our pleasure, inviting us into a world of fictional diversity, all the while confirming the range of his considerable writing talent. The Galloway Collection is a wholly new edited version of the works of S.R.Crockett, not a reprinted facsimile or a scanned copy. Ayton Publishing Limited is committed to achieving a high production standard at a reasonable price. The original conventions of punctuation and style have been kept where appropriate but each volume has been individually edited, typeset, proofed and produced to modern standards and includes an original introduction by series editor Cally Phillips.

About the Author
‘Crockett may succeed to some extent in doing for Galloway what Scott did for Midlothian and other parts of Scotland.’ S.R.Crockett was a bestselling author from the 1890’s through to his death in 1914. His work still appeals to those who love stories packed with history, adventure and romance and is now brought back into publication for a new generation by Ayton Publishing Limited, to mark the centenary of his death.
