Sir Gibbie is an 1879 novel by the Scottish author George MacDonald. The book shows a complex cast of characters from all the social levels: from the laird to the homeless, going through a couple of priests, one of them prone to yield to worldly considerations, although he's good enough, or clever enough, not to fall into wickedness; the other merely pompous and self-righteous. The aim of the story is to show that the idea that bad people are the almost inevitable result of unjust social treatment is wrong.
