'At the Back of the North
Wind' is one of MacDonald's
best loved fairy-tales.
First published in 1870, it
has hearts ever since. Full
of beauty, joy and wisdom,
this story is comforting,
haunting & challenging by
turns. Set in 19th Century
London, it tells of Diamond,
the son of a coachman, and
his adventures with North
Wind, a mysterious,
beautiful & sometimes
fearful spirit at whose back
lies the greatest of all
adventures.
George Macdonald
(1824-1905) was a friend to
Lewis Carroll & has been
acknowledged by C.S.Lewis,
J.R.R.Tolkien, Madeleine
L'Engle,
W.H.Auden and many
others.
