Publisher's Synopsis
Auld Licht Idylls is a collection of sketches and stories written by Scottish author J.M. Barrie, originally published in 1888. The book is set in the fictional village of Thrums, which is based on Barrie's hometown of Kirriemuir in Scotland. The stories revolve around the lives of the Auld Lichts, a strict religious sect that is deeply rooted in the traditions of Scotland. The book is a nostalgic and affectionate portrayal of the people and the way of life in the village, with a focus on the daily struggles and triumphs of the working-class people. The stories are humorous, touching, and sometimes tragic, and they capture the essence of Scottish culture and traditions.
