Originally published in 1899, this collection of poems and songs by Montrose resident William F McHardy was forgotten for more than a century until the author's great grandson, Bob McHardy, rediscovered it and decided to republish it in his ancestor's memory, with the vast majority of profits divided between Cancer Research UK, the British Heart Foundation and Tesco's Charity of the Year. This facsimile edition is a faithful paperback reproduction by Mereo of the original book published in Montrose by George A. Bowman.
