About this book

George MacDonald’s At the Back of the North Wind follows young Diamond, the son of a London cabman, into an imaginative friendship with the enigmatic North Wind. The novel moves between nursery wonder, city hardship, dream vision, and spiritual fable while never losing sight of the child at its center.

This DotBooks edition presents the text in a clean reader-facing PDF format for modern reading while preserving the novel’s distinctive blend of fantasy, tenderness, and moral seriousness.
