Description Sir Gibbie is an 1879 novel by the Scottish author George Mac Donald, written in the Doric dialogue of Scotland, that presents a narrative rags-to-riches arc for the title character, in the context of the actual emphasis on the integrity of Gibbie as an obedient Christian servant, and indeed as a Christ-like figure, despite his challenges and circumstances.
Created as a means of supplemental income for Mac Donald and his family, the characters of this and thematically related other works of his popular fiction also provided a means by which Mac Donald's principle devotion--the spread of the Christian message, and of his conception of Christian obedience--could be furthered as well.
