Biography
Jean Mary Allan (1899-circa 1976), librarian and novelist. She was the daughter of Archibald Allan (1852-1924), minister at Channelkirk, and Jean Allan, née Christie (died 1929). Both of her parents were published writers. JM Allan studied at the University of Edinburgh in the early 1920s, gaining an MA, and went on to train as a librarian. Much of her career was with Edinburgh City Libraries, but she was also an author of mainly historical fiction. At least two of her novels were published under the pseudonym ‘Lennox Allan’, though other writings may have appeared in periodicals.
