Author Biography:

Scottish author Violet Jacob (1863-1946) was well-known for her poems, short stories, and novels, especially those that are set in the Highlands of Scotland. She was born into an affluent and aristocratic family on September 1, 1863, at the House of Duntan in Angus, Scotland. Jacob was the daughter of the banking family's John Jacob, Laird of Duntan, and Louisa Baring. Despite coming from a wealthy family, Violet Jacob had a strong connection to the customs, scenery, and rural Scottish culture, all of which had a significant impact on her writing. Being multilingual and proficient in both English and Scots, she frequently used the dialect to enhance the realism and depth of her depictions of Scottish life in her writing. Violet Jacob was a talented writer, but throughout her lifetime, her works were not well known. Her writing didn't start to get more recognition for its contributions to Scottish literature until the latter half of the 20th century.
