Description: Originally published in 1899 by Dodd, Mead, & Co., New York. MacDonald's final “novella” of a scant 22,000 words was viewed as so insignificant at the time of its release that it never appeared in book form in the U.K and is omitted from many lists of MacDonald’s books. Though appearing in magazine form in Britain, its only book edition was published in the United States. For those with eyes to see, however, it reads as an autobiographical retrospective of the beginning of MacDonald’s own writing life. Though revealing a poignant final glimpse of MacDonald's waning energy and craft, the significance of its portrait of a struggling youthful author is delightful. Shortly after its writing, what appeared to be a stroke silenced the pen of this remarkable literary genius and man of God. (Source: The Cullen Collection, via worksofmacdonald)
