George MacDonald has yet to disappoint me. This book was absolutely great. The Scotch vernacular was difficult to understand at times, but at the same time it made you really pay attention to the dialogue. This story was littered with truth, and warning, hope and despair. A great reminder that we al

Probably George MacDonald's masterpiece. The last novel he wrote at the end of his life, short and intense. I love many of his books, but this one cuts right to the chase and goes deep to the heart.
