At the Back of the North Wind<\/strong><\/h3>\n

by George MacDonald<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Description:  <\/span>The story of Diamond and his adventures with the North Wind, sometimes portrayed as the tiny fairy who blows the primrose, and again as the glorious woman whose home is all Out-Doors, and who sweeps through the skies with little Diamond nestled in her hair. Her beautiful friendship for the boy\u2014one of “God\u2019s fools”\u2014 wonderfully symbolizes strength and tenderness closely interwoven with this fanciful plot, and set within the narrative of Diamond\u2019s home relationships, and the incidents of his everyday life with father, mother, baby, and Big Diamond (the horse), which are told with great simplicity. This modern fairy tale inspires in the reader a stronger faith in things unseen. Poetically conceived and masterfully written.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
