Lewis Grassic Gibbon

Lewis Grassic Gibbon was the pen name of James Leslie Mitchell, a Scottish author whose novel Sunset Song is widely regarded as one of the greatest Scottish novels of the twentieth century. Part of the Scots Quair trilogy, Sunset Song tells the story of Chris Guthrie, a young woman torn between her love of the land and her desire for education, set against the backdrop of rural Aberdeenshire in the early twentieth century. Gibbon's prose, which blends English with Scots dialect, captures the rhythms of Scottish speech with extraordinary beauty.
