Gordon Jarvie worked mostly in publishing. He has authored books on language (such as the Bloomsbury Grammar Guide); books for children (mainly co-authored with his wife Frances, in the NMS Scotties series); and is editor of various anthologies (including Scottish Folk and Fairy Tales from Burns to Buchan). He has also done work on the Glasgow novelist George Friel. Nowadays, he is a poet, although there still seem to be prams in the hallway.
