George MacDonald, the author of At the Back of the North Wind, was a nineteenth-century author and clergymen who wrote magical stories where images of Divine love show up in surprising places. At the Back of the North Wind tells the story of Diamond, a little boy who lives in a world of innocence and mystery. While everyone around him sees only the hardships of life in Victorian London, Diamond sees beauty and wonder everywhere. The beautiful lady North Wind, and Diamond's relationship with her, is pivotal to the story. North Wind is, quite clearly, symbolic of the Divine presence--and yet she works in the hard and gritty world where Diamond lives. Diamond accepts her, trusts her, and loves her, even when she does things that look bad to him. As we read the story, we can see and understand the hard realities Diamond's family experiences, but we can also comprehend the deeper reality Diamond sees.
And as we put those realities together, we begin to sense their truths in our own lives. Anamchara Books brings a new generation a more accessible modern-language version of At the Back of the North Wind, allowing fresh access to George MacDonald's intriguing story. Children will enjoy the book's fantasy and adventure--while adults will be nourished by the spiritual truths embedded throughout the story.
