Summary "The Stickit Minister’s Wooing and Other Galloway Stories" by S. R. Crockett is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The stories delve into the life and struggles of various characters in a rural Scottish setting, particularly focusing on Robert Fraser, known as the "Stickit Minister," highlighting themes of love, sacrifice, and community bonds. The opening of the collection introduces readers to the Stickit Minister, who is gravely ill and reminisces about his life and the choices he made, particularly concerning a past love, Jessie Loudon. The story begins with the minister's friend, Alec, visiting him, and through their dialogue, readers learn of the Stickit Minister's quiet dignity and his deep connections to both his brother, Henry, and Jessie. As the minister reflects on his life, he reveals his regrets and the weight of his decisions, setting a poignant tone for the stories to follow, exploring themes of mortality, love, and the impact of choices on personal and communal relationships.
