# At the Back of the North Wind

By Elizabeth Lewis and George MacDonald.

"At the Back of the North Wind" by George MacDonald is a children's fantasy novel serialized beginning in 1868 and published in book form in 1871. The story follows Diamond, a sweet young boy who befriends the mysterious North Wind, a goddess-like being. Together they embark on nighttime adventures through the sky, where Diamond gradually discovers her true nature. The tale explores deep theological questions while telling the story of a child who brings joy and peace wherever he goes, even as he seems not entirely of this world.
