Summary

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: The traumatic life of J. M. Barrie, source of universal creativity 


First published in 1891, “The Little Minister” is a popular sentimental novel written by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie, best remembered as the creator of Peter Pan. "The Little Minister" was made for the stage in 1897 and, due to its great success, has been adapted for the cinema on several occasions.

"The Little Minister" is not a children's book, but a reflection on life in a remote Scottish village. The story is set in Thrums, a Scottish weaving village based on Barrie’s birthplace, to which Gavin Dishart, an impoverished young minister, and his mother have moved. The minister must earn the respect of the villagers, threading his way through class differences, politics and suspicion of the travelling gypsies. But what would happen if the newly respectable minister of Thrums fell in love with a gypsy woman? And how will her secret impact upon them all?

In 1921, Marian Arnold, the heiress to a brewing baron's empire, seeks solace in the glass butterfly house on her family's Wisconsin estate as Prohibition and the deaths of her parents cast a long shadow over her shrinking world.

Marian, fearful she might be next, enlists the help of her childhood friend Felix, a war veteran with his own haunted past. 
 
In the present day, researcher Remy Shaw becomes entangled in an elderly biographer's quest to uncover the truth behind Marian Arnold's mysterious life and the unsolved murders linked to an infamous serial killer. Joined by Marian's great-great-grandson, can Remy expose the evil that lurks beneath broken wings? Or will the dark legacy surrounding the manor and its glass house destroy yet another generation?
