Miller Family Name Mini-Book Excerpt
 
"One bearer of the Miller name with a particularly endearing claim to fame is the Scottish poet William Miller – fondly known for the children’s nursery rhyme Wee Willie Winkie.
 
Born in the Dennistoun area of Glasgow in 1810, ill-health forced him to abandon his medical studies and instead become a carpenter and cabinetmaker.
 
Known as “The Laureate of the Nursery”, it was in 1842 that his Whistle-binkie: Stories for the Fireside – containing his famous Wee Willie Winkie – was published.
 
Dogged throughout his lifetime with ill-health, he died in 1872, while a memorial was later erected to him in the Glasgow Necropolis. "
