In an 1895 Courier article, Cather writes: "There was a really strong Scotch novel published a few years ago, though it seems to have been already forgotten by the changeful worshippers of Scotch fiction of the day. I speak of Barrie's Little Minister."
In an 1899 Courier article, Cather writes: "Certainly Mr. Barrie's little play is a delightful one, full of quiet, poetic situations, quaint, natural comedy, and with a delightfully literary flavor about it." Cather is describing Barrie's dramatization of his 1891 novel.
