Powerful of plot, Sir Gibbie is infused with what is almost the mythical nature of the homeless waif who is its central character and the source of its enduring power. I know of no other character in fiction exactly like Gibbie, which explains why his story has been a lifetime favorite among all MacDonald’s books for so many.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe hues of Christlikeness that provide the tapestry backdrop for all MacDonald’s novels shine out with special radiance in Sir Gibbie and its sequel Donal Grant. Orphan Gibbie without a father discovers his true Father, while his best friend Donal, a young man growing up with MacDonald’s prototypical image of wonderful parents, discovers with Gibbie the essence of true childship. The journeys of growth of both young men, so different of outward circumstance, lead to the same childship-obedience in the end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo say more about Gibbie and his story might too easily spoil the reading experience awaiting those who have yet to discover it. We will only add this from Michael Phillips' introduction to the Cullen Collection edition:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Is Sir Gibbie ‘myth’ ...Is it poetry? Is it fantasy? Is it music?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Or does Gibbie’s magic spring from MacDonald’s having simultaneously captured the essence of all four? The story tugs at us, the myth calls forth eternity in our spirits, the poetry moves us, the fantasy delights our imaginations, while all along the music makes our hearts sing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Sir Gibbie is all this and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Through the title character of wee Gibbie, we do not merely meet a mythical, musical, poetical child of

He was not instructed at any point to make the book shorter (unless it makes the story better) or to remove any of MacDonald's message, regardless of how it might go against popular dogmas in Christianity today.  Instead, Phillips was able to clarify, shorten when appropriate to help with MacDonald's verbose propensity, and make the message more accessible for today's readers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this example, MacDonald discusses the sins society sees as bad, and those that are acceptable, and offers hope to the worst of sinners in the end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOriginal\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    Alas for the human soul inhabiting a drink-fouled brain!  It is a human soul still, and wretched in the midst of all that whisky can do for it.  From the pit of hell it cries out.  So long as there is that which can sin, it is a man.  And the prayer of misery carries its own justification, when the sober petitions of the self-righteous and the unkind are rejected.  He who forgives not is not forgiven, and the prayer of the Pharisee is as the weary beating of the surf of hell, while the cry of a soul out of its fire sets the heart-strings of love trembling.  There are sins which men must leave behind them, and sins which they must carry with them. Society scouts the drunkard because he is loathsome, and it matters nothing whether society be right or wrong, while it cherishes in its very bosom vices which are, to the God-born thing we call the soul, yet worse poisons.  Drunkards and sinners, hard as it may be for them to enter into the kingdom of heaven, must yet be easier to save than the man whose position, reputation, money, engross his heart and his care, who seeks the praise of men and not the praise of God. When I am more of a Christian, I shall have learnt to be sorrier for the man whose end is money or social standing than for the drunkard. But now my heart, recoiling from the one, is sore for the other--for the agony, the helplessness, the degradation, the nightmare struggle, the wrongs and cruelties committed, the duties neglected, the sickening ruin of mind and heart.  So often, too, the drunkard is originally a style of man immeasurably nobler than the money-maker!  Compare a Coleridge, Samuel Taylor or Hartley, with--no; that man has not yet passed to his account. God has in his universe furnaces for the refining of gold, as well as for the burning of chaff and tares and fruitless branches; and, however they may have offended, it is the elder brother who is the judge of all the younger ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e1963 Edition by Elizabeth Yates\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e[ completely removed section ]\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e1988 Edition by Michael Phillips (\u003cem\u003eBethany\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e[ completely removed section ]\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2018\/2023 Editions by Michael Phillips (\u003cem\u003eThe Cullen Collection \u003c\/em\u003eand\u003cem\u003e Generations\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMichael Phillips keeps the paragraph's original message, while greatly shortening it and improving the clarity.  The message, now pruned of several rabbit-trails, comes out in increased clarity:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    Alas for the human soul inhabiting a drink-fouled brain!
