At the Back of the North Wind

"At the Back of the North Wind" by George MacDonald tells the story of a young boy named Diamond who forms an unlikely friendship with the mystical Lady North Wind. Diamond lives in a cozy hayloft above the stall of a horse named Diamond. One night, he unintentionally blocks a hole in the wall, which turns out to be the entrance to Lady North Wind's realm. She scolds him for closing her "window" into his room, but this incident marks the beginning of their remarkable bond. Diamond is soon whisked away by the North Wind on a series of extraordinary adventures, both close to his home and far away. Throughout his journeys, Diamond's pure heart and loving spirit serve as his guiding principles. Ultimately, he travels to the back of the North Wind, experiencing both joy and hardship along the way.
