At The Back Of The North Wind

by George Mac Donald

I HAVE been asked to tell you about the back of the north wind. An old Greek writer mentions a people who lived there, and were so comfortable that they could not bear it any longer, and drowned themselves. My story is not the same as his. I do not think Herodotus had got the right account of the place. I am going to tell you how it fared with a boy who went there. - George MacDonaldPlease Note: This book is easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher.
