Young Malcolm MacPhail has already had his audience in the hall of the richly clad widow -- mother of the mad laird, Stephen Stewart.

Yet Malcolm knows the ways of his own heart -- and he knows the mad laird is not the idiot the rest of the world believes him to be!…mehr

Autorenporträt
George MacDonald (1824 - 1905) was a Scottish author, poet and Christian minister. He was a pioneering figure in the field of fantasy literature and the mentor of fellow writer Lewis Carroll. His writings have been cited as a major literary influence by many notable authors. C. S. Lewis wrote that he regarded MacDonald as his "master": "Picking up a copy of Phantastes one day at a train-station bookstall, I began to read. A few hours later," said Lewis, "I knew that I had crossed a great frontier." G. K. Chesterton cited The Princess and the Goblin as a book that had "made a difference to my whole existence".
