Summary
A bold retelling the Victorian fairy tale follows a poor coachman as he is swept away by the North Wind--a beautiful spirit who introduces him to a magical, beautiful country free of the troubles that plagued Dickensian England. 10,000 first printing.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: 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 Wind–a radiant, maternal spirit with long, flowing hair–and 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 Hughes’s handsome illustrations from the original 1871 edition.
