George MacDonald’s The Princess and Curdie is a tale that lingers in the imagination long after its final page, filled with mystery, adventure, and a profound moral vision. First published in 1883 as a sequel to The Princess and the Goblin, this novel continues the journey of the humble miner’s son, Curdie, as he is called upon to aid a kingdom teetering on the brink of ruin. Guided by the enigmatic and benevolent Princess Irene’s great-great-grandmother, Curdie embarks on a quest that is both outwardly heroic and deeply spiritual, confronting corruption, deception, and his own capacity for courage.MacDonald was more than a storyteller; he was a visionary whose works shaped some of the greatest literary minds of the 20th century. C.S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia, credited MacDonald as his spiritual mentor, saying, “I have never concealed the fact that I regarded him as my m

Lilith is a feminine figure in Jewish mythology. Lilith does not appear in the Hebrew Bible or any other biblical source, although the Hebrew word lilit appears in the Book of Isaiah, specifically in Isaiah 34:14. The meaning of this word is debated by scholars with interpretations ranging from a primordial she-demon to a night bird. The King James translation renders the term in this verse as “screech-owl”. Based on medieval Jewish folklore, Lilith is said to have fled from the Garden of Eden because she did not want to submit to Adam.

Originally serialized in 1868 and collected as a book in 1871, At the Back of the North Wind is 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. It combines a Dickensian regard for the working class of mid-19th-century England with the invention of an ethereal landscape. More than a century after it was written, George MacDonald’s At the Back of the North Wind continues to intrigue readers with its allegorical treatment of life and death. The great Christian writer C. S. Lewis, working a generation later, called MacDonald “the greatest genius of his kind.” Find out for yourself what so impressed Lewis and countless readers.
