John Younger (writer) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Younger (writer)
John Younger (1785–1860), of St. Boswells, was a Scottish writer on angling, a shoemaker, and poet. ==Early life== Younger, the youngest of the six children of William Younger, a Border shoemaker, by his wife, Jean Henderson. He was born at Longnewton in the parish of Ancrum, Roxburghshire, on 5 July 1785. His grandfather, John Younger, had put by £900 as a gardener in England, but lost it all by an unlucky speculation. He himself was put to the last when barely nine. The countryside was a poor one, even before the black famine of the closing years of the eighteenth century, and while the quartern loaf stood at 2s. John had some sharp straits to live through, the details of which are in his 'Autobiography.'
