About this ebook
A Scottish lost treasures collection of three classic Scottish historical novels, each offering a superbly plotted and descriptive narrative. Bundled by subject matter rather than author, the books complement each other to 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 C "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
Susan Ferrier (1782-1854) was born in Edinburgh, the daughter of a prominent lawyer who was a colleague of Sir Walter Scott. She was the author of three novels, Marriage (1818), The Inheritance (1824) and Destiny (1831).
John MacDougall Hay (1881-1919) was a preacher and father of the poet George Campbell Hay. In addition to Gillespie, he was also the author of Barnacles and the poetry volume Their Dead Sons. He died whilst still in the planning stages of The Martyr, which was to have been his third novel.
John Galt (1779-1839) was the author of several novels that focused on the Scottish political landscape. After spending some time travelling around the Mediterranean, Galt settled in London and started writing. He moved to Canada in 1826, founding two towns while he was there, and returned to Britain in 1829 to continue writing. He retired to Greenock where he died in 1839.
