Add to basketHodder & Stoughton, London, 1932 First Edition First Printing States First published 1932. 320pp. Tanned pages, darkened boards minor fraying to spine. Inscribed 'To . with the authoers kind regards very good wishes' A Rare first edition. Annie Shepherd Swan was born near the village of Coldingham (Berwickshire) and was brought up in Edinburgh and at Gorebridge (Midlothian). She came from a large family which broke up after her mother's death and her father's remarriage. In 1883 she married James Burnett Smith, a schoolmaster. They lived near Markinch (Fife) for two years, until Smith entered the University of Edinburgh to study medicine. He gave up due to lack of money, but Swan encouraged him to continue, and she supported him through her writing. After his graduation they lived in London (1896-08) and Hertford. During World War I Smith served with the Black Watch, and Swan worked for the Ministry of Food. After her husband's death in 1927 she returned to live in Scotland. Her first commercial success as a novelist was "Aldershyde" (1883). She became hugely popular, especially through serialisation in "The People's Friend" and other magazines. Her novels owed something to the style of Margaret Oliphant, though Oliphant complained (in a review of "Carlowrie") that Swan presented a distorted view of Scotland; certainly, her books were idealised romances, which have not withstood the test of time. In later years she claimed to have lost count of them - in the end there were more than 150.
