| Summary | "The Little Minister" by J. M. Barrie is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a young minister named Gavin Dishart, who arrives in a small Scottish village called Thrums, full of youthful zeal and ambition. Through his interactions with the villagers and his past, the narrative explores themes of love, duty, and the complexities of human relationships. Central to the plot is the enchanting figure of Babbie, a mysterious and captivating woman who significantly influences Gavin's life. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Gavin Dishart and his mother as they arrive in Thrums. The villagers gather to catch a glimpse of the new Auld Licht minister, and Gavin's mother, Margaret, feels a mix of pride and nostalgia as she watches her son fulfill his calling. We learn of Gavin’s connections to the town and his unwavering dedication to his mother and his ministry. The opening chapters set the stage for Gavin's journey, highlighting his struggles with the expectations of his parishioners, the looming threat of civil unrest, and the arrival of a mysterious young woman whose presence promises to complicate his life further.
