Marie Hedderwick-Browne was born in Ireland, but spent her formative years in Glasgow, Scotland, where her father, John Hedderwick, was a prominent member of the literary world. This volume of poetry reflects her Scottish heritage, and poems of nature and sentiment, including "In An Old Churchyard" and "Wee Elsie" written in Scottish dialect. - Summary by Larry Wilson
