At the Back of the North Wind

About this book

A Victorian fairy tale that has enchanted readers for more than a hundred years: the magical story of Diamond the son of a poor coachman who is swept away by the North Winda radiant maternal spirit with long flowing hairand whose life is transformed by a brief glimpse of the beautiful country at the back of the north wind. It combines a Dickensian regard for the working class of mid-19th-century England with the invention of an ethereal landscape and is published here alongside Arthur Hughess handsome illustrations from the original 1871 edition.
