I can't recall now where I found out about this one, perhaps an old publisher's list when I was scouring the internet in the early Kindle days, looking for free public domain works to add to my device.

Anyway, this was a fairly charming series of vignettes about a small Scottish town called Thrums. The Auld Lichts were a conservative religious sect at the time. Barrie would go on, of course, to write the more well-known Peter Pan. This was his first book, and it's an interesting window into a little town during this time period.
