description: Possibly George Macdonald's best-known fantasy, At the Back of the North Wind has enchanted children and adults for more than a century. A landmark in the development of children's writing, this insightful and enthralling fairy tale is just as enchanting today as when it was first published. Modern readers will thrill to the adventures of little Diamond with the mysterious and majestic North Wind, who is both kind and terrible, and who seems to answer to a far higher power than herself. Newly designed and typeset in a modern 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press.
