St. George and St. Michael by George Macdonald, Fiction, Classics, Action & Adventure

Gray-eyed Dorothy Vaughan and her dear, childhood friend Richard Heywood . . . they are beyond the simple joys of making play houses and caring for wild animals. She is 17, he, 19 . . . and new stirrings make feelings they can barely express. Yet it is a time of changes -- when England, Ireland and Scotland are being torn asunder by a confrontation between church and state. The Lord of Strafford has been beheaded; with raised voices Milton and the Puritans cry for freedom . . . and the two young lovers find themselves pulled away from one another -- while the very stones of Raglan Castle tremble!

About the Author

About The Author
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".
