Inhaltsangabe

At the Back of the North Wind is a children’s fantasy by George MacDonald, serialized beginning in 1868 and published in 1871. The story centers on Diamond, a sweet boy who becomes close with the mysterious Lady North Wind, a goddess-like presence. Their friendship leads to magical night flights and adventures that shape Diamond’s understanding of who she is and what her presence means. Alongside its wonder and tenderness, the book engages serious theological questions, presenting Diamond as a Christ-like child whose arrival brings joy and peace and helps counter despair and gloom in a world where he feels he doesn’t fully belong.
