George Macdonald’s timeless novel tells the magical story of Diamond, the son of a poor coachman, who is swept away by the North Wind — a radiant, maternal spirit with long, flowing hair — and whose life is transformed by a brief glimpse of the beautiful country “at the back of the north wind.” Published here alongside Arthur Hughes’s handsome illustrations from the original 1871 edition, At the Back of the North Wind combines a Dickensian regard for the working class of mid-19th-century England with the invention of an ethereal landscape.
