An Auld Licht Manse, And Other Sketches — J.M. Barrie / James Matthew Barrie

This early (1888) work of fiction by the creator of Peter Pan is based on newspaper sketches about small-town life in Scotland. Barrie also drew on his mother's stories about her home town. He published two more books in this series, A Window in Thrums (1889) and The Little Minister (1891).
