| Biography: | Samuel Rutherford Crockett (1860-1914) was a Scottish novelist who grew up on a Galloway farm and graduated from Edinburgh University. He traveled extensively after college, becoming a Free Church minister for a time before turning to owriting in the 1890s. Crockett was part of the Kailyard School of Scottish fiction, which countered the sometimes brutal realism of the time with romantic and sentimental tales of Scotland. After publishing the successful Stickit Minister in 1893, Crockett wrote a series of popular novels featuring the history of Scotland, including The Lilac Sunbonnet (1894) and Sweetheart Travellers (1895). |
