Edition: New York: Doubleday & McClure Co., 1900. Also published as The Stickit Minister's Wooing and Other Galloway Stories.

This book of short stories returns to Mr. Crockett's first class of subjects—homely peasant pathos and humor of the Scottish village life. To us it seems that he has never done better work than is here found. The story which gives the volume its title our readers will remember as having first appeared in The Outlook. This story, or "The Lass in the Shop," or "Jaimsie," either one, is worth half a dozen "Red Axe" dripping with stage gore. These and several others here included have the honest ring of simple, truthful character depiction. —The Outlook, 17 Nov 1900
