Hammond's Hard Lines is a children's novel written by Scottish educationist John Adams (under the pen name of Skelton Kuppord), with illustrations by Harold Copping. In the tale—one of only two school stories by Kuppord—a British schoolboy gets wishes from a mysterious figure that do not go well in his or the institution's favour. It was published to positive reviews by Blackie & Son, first in 1894 and again with updated text in 1957.
