Thomas Dryburgh's dream ; a story of the sick children's hospital. /
Swan, Annie S.,1859-1943.
Edinburgh: ; Oliphant, Anderson & Ferrier.,
1886..
First edition of one of Swan's popular Scots tales. Swan's work was largely dismissed by the Scottish literary establishment as "kailyard" or "cabbage patch" because of its sentimentality and parochialism. This works drew to some extant upon personal knowledge, as at the time Swan was supporting her husband as a medical student in Edinburgh.
