After a brief journalistic career, he joined the Royal Army Service Corps in 1919, serving in Persia, India and Egypt before he spent six years as a clerk in the RAF. He married Rebecca Middleton in 1925, and became a full-time writer in 1929. He was a prolific writer of novels, short stories and essays and had seventeen full length books published before his untimely death at the age of thirty-four. He adopted his maternal grandmother's name for his Scottish work including A Scots Quair: Sunset Song, Cloud Howe and Grey Granite. An unfinished novel, The Speak of the Mearns, was published posthumously in 1982.","brand":"Canongate Books","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53197206978902,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780862413125_1_f0ce9893-37e2-4fb6-9d15-427ab7274c03.jpg?v=1777742265","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/gibbon-grassic-lewis-grey-granite-9780862413125","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
