    Kailyard school, late 19th-century movement in Scottish fiction characterized by a sentimental idealization of humble village life. Its name derives from the Scottish “kail-yard,” a small cabbage patch usually adjacent to a cottage. The Kailyard novels of prominent writers such as Sir James Barrie, author of Auld Licht Idylls (1888) and A Window in Thrums (1889), Ian Maclaren (pseudonym of John Watson), and S.R. Crockett were widely read throughout Scotland, England, and the United States and inspired many imitators. The natural and unsophisticated style and parochial viewpoint quickly degenerated into mawkish sentimentality, which provoked a hostile reaction among contemporary Scottish realists and later writers of the 20th century.
