A review by queenlucythevaliant
At the Back of the North Wind by George MacDonald
5.0
‘Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.' - C.S. Lewis
A children’s book that trusts a child to understand the deep nuances of joy and death and community (and can, in turn, reward an adult reader with layers of meaning not always meant for the child) is a book worth my time. A young reader ingests more than we know!
I will always love this book. It takes me to places no other book ever has - and it makes me excited for the day I can dance with the North Wind and see what is at her Back.
This remains one of my favorite stories of all time.
