Auld Licht Idylls

Más información sobre el libro

Set in late 19th century small-town Scotland, this collection of short stories explores the lives of residents in Thrums, particularly focusing on the Auld Licht Kirk, a strict Calvinist group. The narratives reveal the challenges faced by this community, which broke away from mainstream Presbyterians due to their belief in compromised morals. Through vivid portrayals, Barrie illustrates how the members navigate their hard-working, disciplined lives while struggling for survival amidst their rigid traditions and beliefs.
