0. Douglas on 'Crossriggs', by Mary and Jane Findlater
There can be few Scots readers to whom the name 0. Douglas does not mean quite a lot ; nor is the popularity of her work kept North of the Border, for many a Sassenach has enjoyed such popular novels of hers as ' The Setons Penny Plain and ' The Proper Place '.
0. Douglas-whose real name is
Anna Buchan-i . the sister of the late John Buchan the novelist, who, as Lord Tweedsmuir, became Governor-General of Canada.
It is appropriate that 0. Douglas should choose for her talk this afternoon ' Crossriggs ' by Jane and Mary Findlater , whose quiet domestic style of authorship has such kinship with her own.
