S. R. Crockett Pořadí knih (chronologicky)
Samuel Rutherford Crockett byl skotský romanopisec, který proslul svými příběhy zasazenými do historie Skotska, zejména do jeho rodného Galloway. Jeho styl, ovlivněný poptávkou po sentimentálních příbězích v nížinné skotštině, často zachycoval domáckou atmosféru. Crockett však nebyl jen kronikářem své vlasti; jeho rozsáhlé cestování po Evropě a mimo ni inspirovalo řadu románů s evropskou historickou tematikou. Přestože jeho pozdější díla byla kritizována za nadměrnou produkci a sentimentálnost, jeho rané práce si získaly oblibu pro svou jedinečnou atmosféru a styl.
