In this second instalment of the fisherman’s tale, he is transported from MacDonald’s Morayshire to Dickens’ London, where his sister is about to form a ruinous marriage. If Malcolm is to rescue her against all the odds, he must thwart the schemes of enemies old and new, discover who to trust in an alien city, and curb his Celtic passions lest his own plans unravel. But will his instincts and his faith prove true guides in his mission, or will he leave all too late to redeem a sacred promise?
This new edition is the only one to provide the full original text, with complete English translation side-by-side with the Scots. Also included is G.K. Chesterton’s “George MacDonald and His Work,” an introduction by C.S. Lewis’ stepson, Douglas Gresham, a preface by translator David Jack, and illustrations by artist Carrie Stout
