Literary Anniversaries in the offing. 

                                                        Anniversaries abound.
In 2019 no fewer than four of Crockett's works have their 125th anniversary with another 3 commemorating their 120th anniversary. There's also a number of significant stories and articles. 
We're featuring the novels and stories in a number of ways in the months ahead.  click the links to find out more.

It’s also the 115th anniversary of the publication of The Loves of Miss Anne, Strong Mac, Raiderland, Red Cap Tales  (1904) and the 110th anniversary of The Men of the Mountain, Rose of the Wilderness, The Seven Wise Men, The Dew of Their Youth and My Two Edinburghs (1909)

                September 24th 2019 is also the 160th anniversary of Crockett’s birth.
 

2020 sees the 125th anniversary of the publication of The Men of the Moss Hags, Bog Myrtle and Peat (and the US pirated A Galloway Herd ) (1895)
and the 120th anniversary of The Stickit Minister’s Wooing, Joan of the Sword Hand and Little Anna Mark.  (1900)

It's the 115th anniversary of Maid Margaret, Kid McGhie and  Sir Toady Crusoe (1905) and the 110th anniversary of Young Nick and Old Nick (1910)

2021 sees the 125th anniversary of the publication of Cleg Kelly, The Grey Man and Sweetheart Travellers and the 120th anniversary of Cinderella, The Firebrand and The Silver Skull.  I

It is also the 115th anniversary of  The White Plumes of Navarre, (1906) and the 110th anniversary of The Lady of a Hundred Dresses, Love in Pernicketty  Town and The Smugglers (1911)

Over the next 3 years no fewer than 36 of Crockett’s works have significant ‘anniversaries’.
So there's plenty to read for all tastes.  
20 of these works  are substantially set in Galloway    
6 are European (and further afield)
Further categorisation becomes increasingly difficult. There are collections, children’s works, non-fiction and ‘mystery/problem’ works.
One thing is for certain, this  selection offers something for nearly everyone who has an interest in reading, especially those interested in Scottish literature, culture and history.
There's never been a better time to start catching up on your Crockett. And we will be offering lots of opportunities to read Crockett FOR FREE during 2019 and 2020.
