About the author
Hamish Hendry was a Scottish writer, identified in reference sources as a poet and journalist. Available catalog and author records connect him with Alloa and place his publishing activity from the 1890s into the 1920s.
His books include Burns from Heaven, Holidays & Happy-Days, A Scots Dominie, Just Forty Winks, and Poems, English and Scottish. Some of his work was written for children, and the range of titles suggests an author who could move between poetry, storytelling, and seasonal or celebratory subjects.
The surviving record is fairly sparse, so many personal details remain unclear. What does come through is a long, varied body of work and a distinctly Scottish literary identity that kept his writing in circulation well beyond his lifetime.
