About this ebook
A Scottish lost treasures collection of three classic adventure novels, each offering a superbly plotted and descriptive narrative. Bundled by subject matter rather than author, the books create a compelling trilogy. "Palimpsest's eClassics series, Scottish Lost Treasures, shows us how much poorer Britain's cultural heritage would be without Scottish writers ... The best example I've seen of how curation and presentation can bring old books to new audiences" - The Observer "This strikes me as a fantastic venture, and one I hope will expand further" - Professor Willy Maley, University of Glasgow, Scotland on Sunday

About the author
James Hogg (1770-1835), the 'Ettrick Shepherd', was born to a farming family in the Scottish borders. He earned the nickname through his work for a time as a shepherd. He taught himself to read from newspapers passed to him by the wife of his employer. Hogg began writing songs and plays and moved to Edinburgh in 1810 to pursue a full-time writing career. A friend of many writers of his day including Sir Walter Scott, he was a prolific writer throughout his life, producing novels, poetry and songs up until his death.
S. R. Crockett (1859-1914) was a Scottish novelist born in Kirkcudbrightshire who became a minister of the Free Church in 1886, the year of his first publication, but gave up the ministry in 1895 to write full-time. The 'Kailyard' school of writing resonated with Crockett and he penned a series of popular novels featuring the history of Scotland and his native Galloway. He died in France in 1914 before the outbreak of the First World War.
