The Portent: Pocket Edition - Paperback
Details
by George MacDonald (Author)
The Portent is an early novella* by George MacDonald, which is partly described by its subtitle: A Story of the Inner Vision of the Highlanders, Commonly Called The Second Sight. Centring around young Duncan Campbell, who finds himself in possession of this gift (though in slightly altered form), it tells of his connection to an old legend, the ghostly experiences he has as a tutor at Hilton Hall, and the progress of his love affair with one of its residents-the beautiful but enigmatic Lady Alice.
First published in 1864, The Room to Roam now offers this new pocket-sized edition (approx. 6″ x 4.5″), with a cover inspired by The Portent and Other Stories, published for George MacDonald's Centenary.
*One of two Scottish novellas (the other being Far Above Rubies), neither of which contain any broad Scots dialogue
