Donal Grant
George MacDonald
Book Overview:
After leaving home in search of work, Donal Grant accepts a position as tutor to a young boy who lives in a sprawling castle, which also houses an eccentric old man, a beautiful and troubled young woman, and an ancient family legend of a secret room hidden somewhere within the castle. This is the sequel to "Sir Gibbie" by the same author, but is quite capable of standing as a complete and compelling story in its own right.

Donal made haste with his breakfast, and to Simmons's astonishment had ended when he thought him just well begun.
"How shall I find master Davie?" he asked.
"He is wild to see you, sir. When I've cleared away, just have the goodness to ring this bell out of that window, and he'll be with you as fast as he can lay his feet to the ground."
Donal rang the handbell. A shout mingled with the clang of it. Then came the running of swift feet over the stones of the court, and Davie burst into the room.
"Oh, sir," he cried, "I am glad! It is good of you to come!"
"Well, you see, Davie," returned Donal, "everybody has got to do something to carry the world on a bit: my work is to help make a man of you. Only I can't do much except you help me; and if I find I am not making a good job of you, I shan't stop many hours after th. . . Read More

Well, last night I was reaching the middle of the book and found I could not bring myself to turn the light out and go to bed until the mystery of the lost room in the dreary castle was solved and I had reache
Donal Grant is a real treat. First off, I had to teach myself the old Scottish dialect by ploughing through it, and I learned it! That was a fun challenge, and so worth it. Only the conversations between country people are in the old Scottish, and it is just alike enough to english that you can lear

Tolkien) that finally convinced me to explore first hand his theological teaching by reading his "Unspoken Se
“People find this great fault with me–that I turn my stories into sermons. They forget that I have a master to serve first before I can wait upon the public.” George MacDonald.
Donal Grant is a “story-sermon” par excellence, for although in one sense it throws subtlety to the wind (there is no questi
