In Scotland alone there is a large number, some of the more recent bearing such well-known names as those of R.L.
Stevenson, George Macdonald (Aberdeen), J.M.Barrie (Forfarshire), and S.R.Crockett (Galloway).

Dean Ramsay's humorous _Reminiscences of Scottish Life and Character_ must not be passed over.

For Ireland we have William Carleton's _Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry_, and the novels by Lever and Lover.

Cumberland has its delightful stories of _Joe and the Geologist_, and _Bobby Banks' Bodderment_.
Cornwall has its _Tales_, by J.T.Tregellas.

Devon can boast of R.D.
Blackmore, Dorset of Hardy and Barnes, and Lincoln of Tennyson.
