Synopsis
Excerpt from Patsy
The earl's dark eyes passed with carelessness over hundreds of farm-towns, snug sheltered villages, mills with little threads of white wimpling away from the unheard constant clack of the wheel, barns, byres and stackyards - all were his, but of these he took no heed.

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.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a captivating historical saga, paints a vivid portrait of life in the Southern Albanach during the early 19th century. The author skillfully intertwines the lives of two families - the Raincys, a noble clan with a long-standing feud, and the Ferrises, a humble yet spirited family led by a brilliant and enigmatic patriarch. Set against the backdrop of smuggling, political unrest, and the looming threat of war, the story explores themes of love, loyalty, and the complexities of human nature. At its heart lies the extraordinary character of Patsy Ferris, who embodies the resilience and indomitable spirit of the Picts, her ancestors. Through her, the author examines the role of women in a society dominated by men, highlighting their strength, agency, and the transformative power of their choices. This book is not merely a historical tale but a timeless meditation on the human condition, its complexities, and the enduring power of the human spirit.
