SIR GIBBIE is a heartgripping adventure story set in Scotland over a century ago. It is the tale of a ragged orphan who triumphs over hunger and homelessness, murder and misery, with a valiant spirit and a heart full of love. Mark Twain read SIR GIBBIE when he was writing HUCKLEBERRY FINN and used several of the same incidents and details.

In this illustrated edition, Kathryn Lindskoog has faithfully preserved every detail and all the meaning of MacDonalds story while streamlining every chapter and replacing all the obscure Scottish dialect with clear English. This book won a Gold Medallion Award from the Christian Booksellers Association.
