New Book!

I've just had another new George MacDonald edition published...At the Back of the North Wind! (in both paperback and hardback.)

This is an unmissable story, beloved by C S Lewis, L M Montgomery (she references it in at least three of her own books, and seems to have named one of her heroines after a bit part player in this one) and Mark Twain's children.

The hardback of the new edition is especially collectable, but both paperback and hardback have new editions by Douglas Gresham, and are part of a three book matching set with these two...

The Princess and Curdie: The Sequel to The Princess and the Goblin, and a Favorite of C. S. Lewis

New Translation!

My translation of George MacDonald's classic novel The Marquis of Lossie (the sequel to Malcolm) has just been published! It's the 6th in a series of 12 books set in MacDonald's homeland, most of which have been inaccessible to the majority of readers, due to the broad Aberdeenshire dialogue...that is until now, of course!
