tell me another story please ,

In the gift of a well written fairy tale are the glorious nuggets that are mined one page at a time.

This is a beautiful story. Lose yourself in the relationship of Diamond and North Wind. This young lad shares the wisdom of the ages to all willing to open their hearts to hear.

This was beautifully written, whimsical and deep. A beautiful story written very poetically. Read it with my child and we were captivated.

At the Back of the North Wind

Profoundly moving. My fourth George MacDonal fantasy/fairytale. How I wish this current world would come to know and read these dear stories. Each one as dear as the next.
