Description
George MacDonald wrote this Scots novel around a small, saintly boy called Gibbie. Contents run through thirty-one chapters, from The Earring and Sir George to Mistress Croale and The Parlour. A glossary of broad Scots, added by the electronic text's maker, stands at the end to help with the dialogue.
Later heads promise Gibbie adrift, a barn refuge, Donal Grant, apprenticeship, and secret service. MacDonald sets a child of pure heart among drunks, lairds, and gamekeepers in the Scottish hills. Love and quiet goodness, not force, carry Gibbie through a hard world that keeps misreading him.
