My father belonged to the widespread family of the Campbells and possessed a small landed property in the north of Argyll. But although of long descent and high connection he was no richer than many a farmer of a few hundred acres.

Product Details,
By Jeffrey W. Smith (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Portent and Other Stories (George MacDonald Original Works) (Hardcover)
The purpose of this review is to assure customers who may be interested in buying a Johannesen edition of George MacDonald's work that they are indeed getting the best copy available. The Portent and Other Stories is a rather strange collection of MacDonald's work containing the eerie title story, The Cruel Painter, The Castle, The Wow O' Rivven, The Broken Swords, The Grey Wolf, and Uncle Cornelius His Story. I say that this collection is strange in accordance to the subject matter of some of these stories in relation to the rest of MacDonald's work. Strong elements of the gothic abound quite convincingly. The physical quality of the book itself is worth the money. Like all Johannesen editions (which are considered as authoritative editions amongst literary critics), this book is hand-bound in a hard, green cover with acid-free pages, both of which promise to last over a century of use. For anyone wishing to collect MacDonald's work, this would be the best copy to buy. I hope this review has been helpful to you.

The Original Story Teller - J.K. Rowling must have read some George MacDonald,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Portent and Other Stories (George MacDonald Original Works) (Hardcover)
If you like the Harry Potter stories or Lord of the Rings you need to introduce yourself to the works of George MacDonald. In "The Portent" George MacDonald tells a story of courage, duty, and friendship with a wee bit of the Unknown in that region of thin places. The symbolism begins in Chapter 1.
