The collection includes a series of vignettes and short stories that revolve around various characters in a Scottish village. The titular story, "His Majesty Baby," is likely centered on the arrival of a baby in the community and the impact this event has on the lives of the villagers.Each story in the collection portrays different aspects of life, capturing the simplicity, struggles, and joys of the "common people" who inhabit the village. Through his detailed characterizations and keen observations, Maclaren paints a vivid picture of rural life at the turn of the 20th century.
