Description: Front board soiled along top edge, hinges starting, title page loosening but still holding. 1898 Hard Cover. 375 pp. Maude Adams Edition, with plates from photographs that appear here for the first time, as well as drawings by C. Allen Gilbert. The Little Minister is set in Thrums, a Scottish weaving village based on Barrie's birthplace, and concerns Gavin Dishart, a young impoverished minister with his first congregation. The weavers he serves soon riot in protest against reductions in their wages and harsh working conditions. Warned by Babbie, a beautiful and mysterious Gypsy, that Lord Rintoul, the local laird, has summoned the militia, the weavers prepare for a fight. During the ensuing melee, Dishart rescues Babbie from the soldiers. Dishart and Babbie fall in love, he never suspecting that she is really a well-born lady who is unwillingly betrothed to the old Lord Rintoul. After many trials, the two live happily ever after.

Gilbert illustrated a large number of books, among them Barrie's, Little Minister (1898); Ellen Glasgow's, Life and Gabriella (1916); H.G.
