Hamish Hamilton Limited was a British book publishing house, founded in 1931 eponymously by the half-Scot half-AmericanJamie Hamilton (Hamish is the vocative form of the Gaelic Seumas [meaning James], James the English form – which was also his given name, and Jamie the diminutive form). Jamie Hamilton was often referred to as Hamish Hamilton.
In 1939 Hamish Hamilton Law and Hamish Hamilton Medical were started[1] but closed during the war. Hamish Hamilton was established in the literary district of Bloomsbury and went on to publish many promising British and American authors, many of whom were personal friends and acquaintances of Jamie Hamilton.
The Little Golden Library - series edited by Herbert Strang. Titles include Scouting Stories (1931), True Adventure Stories (1931), Stories of Great Inventions (1932), Stories of the Sea (1933), Stories of Field and Forest (date unknown).
