At the Back of the North Wind
A stable boy follows the North Wind on a series of adventures in George MacDonald's classic tale “At the Back of the North Wind”. On their travels Diamond sees the North Wind do good deeds, but also things that seem awful although they have good outcomes. The North Wind also shows him her own land - where there is no pain or death - but which he can only see in shadow until his own death.Full original text available here.
