A handsome book that is carefully hand crafted using old world techniques and observing the original format of hard bound cloth covers with gold gilt lettering.
This is one of the longer stories by George MacDonald and a lovely one. There are several main characters, including two precious young people, Richard and Barbara. The setting is in Britain when there were barons and peasants, the rich and the poor. It is a character study and romance, where honesty, hard work and love for one\'s neighbor are commended by MacDonald. Typical of MacDonald’s writings, there are many spiritual nuggets one can feed on throughout the book. The Reverend Windgate, one of the characters, is helpful to many of the characters, just as the author, a clergyman, was in real life. It is an evil versus good tale in which the generosity and kindness of some of the good characters, even some living in poverty, shines through. C. S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia and well-known Christian apologist, made frequent mention of MacDonald in his books, unabashedly calling MacDonald his \"master.\" ( Amazon customer)
