Description
John Galt's ambitious novel Ringan Gilhaize presents a detailed historical account of the rise of opposing religious factions in Scotland in the early modern period. Told by the eponymous character, the story begins with the life of Ringan's grandfather and proceeds to the period of Ringan himself, detailing virtually every significant event in the country's history along the way..

I think one has to have a rather deeper interest in the Scottish Reformation than I have to really enjoy this novel, which isn't as amusing as Annals of the Parish.
