Raiders" and "The Stickit Minister"
He is a Scotchman, and his stories
are mainly sketches of Scottish life
drawn from characters familiar to
the author. His father died when the
novelist was but child, and he was
brought up by his grandparents, the
strictest of Cameronians, who con-
sidered the works of Shakespeare and
Scott very wicked. He did not agree
with them, however, and read their
wicked" books on the sly. They
were poor and his education was Sc
cured only by his own efforts. By
teaching and writing he worked his
way through college, graduating from
Edinburgh university and Oxford, and
taking degrees at Heidelberg and
Neufachtel. For some time he was n
clergy man, preaching at Penicuik.
His first book was one of poems. The
demand for his work increased so
rapidly that he ceased his ministerial
work and devotes himself entirely to
literature.
