The Life and Letters of William Sharp and "Fiona Macleod"

William Sharp was born in Paisley, near Glasgow, in 1855. His father, a
successful merchant, moved his family to Glasgow in 1867; his mother,
Katherine Brooks, was the daughter of the Swedish Vice Consul in
Glasgow. A talented, adventurous boy who read voraciously, he spent
summers with his family in the Inner Hebrides where he developed a
strong attachment to the land and the people. In the summer of 1863, his
paternal aunt brought her children from London to vacation with their
cousins.
