Narration As Books At the Back of the North Wind

Diamond, son of a poor coachman, is swept away by the North Wind -- a radiant, maternal spirit with long, flowing hair. His life is transformed by a brief glimpse of the beautiful country -- at the back of the north wind.

This Victorian fairy tale has enchanted readers for more than a hundred years, and combines a Dickensian regard for the working class of mid-19th-century England with the invention of an ethereal landscape.

Evaluate Appertaining To Books At the Back of the North Wind

I like George MacDonald's books very much, and this particular one because of its beautiful and dreamlike way to face life. "Some children are profound in metaphysics", he says at some point. This book contains also the fairy tale "Little Daylight", inspired in the Sleeping Beauty. My son enjoyed the story while it was happening, but didn't like the ending. He wants Diamond to return again from the Back of the North Wind.

At the start, for the first half of it, I struggled to push my way through "At the Back of the North Wind." I thought it tedious and drawn out. But by the time I had waded into the middle, I found I was swimming.I just finished this book, and I have to tell you, I have no way of using my tongue to convey how I feel and what this book has done in me. I sit without words, but without the ability to contain the rush of thought and emotion that crowd me on all sides. I look about and the only thing

It took me awhile to read this...I am a busy mom and it was important for me to find the time to read and savor this in silence (which doesn't always happen for me). I was disappointed when I couldn't take the time to read this book. It is beautifully written. It is a fairy tale for both adults and children. It makes me want to be like Diamond, not fearing anything and living in the moment. Would read it again. George MacDonald is so descriptive in his writing. At times it seemed as if I was

If you are the sort of person who only reads the first few sentences of a review, you'd better just look back at my rating to determine my opinion of this book, because I'm going to start out by saying critical things. However, the books I like best, like my favorite people, tend to be those which are beautiful in spite of their flaws.I never know quite what to say about this story, and so usually I do not talk about it. It is considered a children's book, for such, I believe, the author

I respect the book a great deal for being such a classic, but to me it was bit boring (Is it just me or the North Wind ?). Don't think even as a kid I enjoyed this one that much. Yes, I was yawning all the time. And I was a big fan of Hal and Roger Hunt back then. Anyway, I personally believe the story is too lengthy for a children's book, specially for such a theme. If it had only 200 pages, this would have looked bit more interesting. And I hated North Wind every time she appeared. A very

Cute, but not too cute. A little too long, but a solid wintertime read.
