At the Back of the North Wind

More than a century after it was written, George MacDonald's At the Back of the North Wind continues to intrigue readers with its allegorical treatment of life and death. The story of the young boy Diamond who meets the mysterious and beautiful North Wind explores, in the words of one reviewer, "the possibility of trusting cooperation with this awesome but benevolent force." The great Christian writer C. S. Lewis, working a generation later, called MacDonald "the greatest genius of his kind." Find out for yourself what so impressed Lewis and countless readers over the last 130 years!
