Complete and unabridged, with 52 full-page plates by Edvard Munch, Peter Monamy and Erskine Nicol. A young minister arrives at Thrums to a congregation that watches everything he does, and meets a gypsy girl in the woods on the worst possible night of the year. Barrie was writing his own Kirriemuir under another name, and his mother's stories are the foundation of the whole of it. He later turned the book into a play, one of the great stage successes of the 1890s. Fifty-two plates by painters including Edvard Munch and John Atkinson Grimshaw, from 1724 to 1927, bring the small-town streets and quiet interiors of Barrie's Kirriemuir to the story of a preacher and a gypsy girl.
