The Grey Man is a fast-paced adventure romance set in Ayrshire,
Scotland, in the reign of James VI. Written when S.R. Crockett was
at the height of his power and popularity as a novelist, the story
deals with the violent feud between the Kennedys of Cassillis and
the Kennedys of Bargany and introduces some of his most memorable
characters drawn from local folklore. The fearsome grey-clad figure
of John Mure of Auchindrayne and the legendary cannibal, Sawny
Bean, stalk the canvas of a novel that captures the turbulence of
Scottish history. With a new introduction that draws on unpublished
material to trace Crockett's composition of the story and his
transformation of historical sources, this edition offers an
authoritative text of this once popular work which topped the
best-seller charts of 1896. Richard D. Jackson is a graduate of the
University of St Andrews. A former schoolteacher, HM Inspector of
Schools and retired senior administrative civil servant, he
co-edited The Forest Minstrel for The Collected Works of James
Hogg, contributes regularly to Studies in Hogg and his World and
has published essays in other journals on Walter Scott, John Buchan
and Philip Larkin.
