A Little Pilgrim: Stories of the Seen and the Unseen by Mrs. Oliphant is a collection of short stories that explore themes of spiritual journeys, self-discovery, and the tension between the material and the spiritual realms. Written in the late 19th century, this work reflects Mrs. Oliphant’s keen interest in the supernatural, the unseen world, and the moral and philosophical questions surrounding life and death. The stories in A Little Pilgrim center on the experiences of a young girl, often referred to as the "little pilgrim," who embarks on a journey that leads her to encounters with both the physical and the spiritual realms. Each story delves into the concept of what is visible and tangible versus what lies beyond human perception. The narratives invite readers to reflect on their own lives, choices, and the possibility of unseen forces at play in the world around them. The stories encourage a deeper understanding of life beyond the material world, with a focus on the soul's journey and the ultimate search for truth.
