Freddy Anderson (1922 – 2001) born in Ballybay, County Monaghan, Ireland, came to Glasgow after the war. He was a well-known figure in the city and amongst the Scottish Literary scene. This is the first collected edition of his works including his poems; the novel, ‘Oiney Hoy,’ and the award-winning play about John Maclean, ‘Krassivy.’
