Book Description
Heart-gripping Tales Filled With Mystery, Suspense, and Unexpected Love

The special value volume combines two of George MacDonald's most beloved novels. The Baronet's Song tells the enchanting story of "Wee Sir Gibbie of the Highlands." Gibbie is a seemingly destitute orphan, whose life-though he is unable to speak-communicates truth, innocent love, and goodness. The Shepherd's Castle continues the story of Gibbie's best friend, Donal Grant, in a classic tale of love, dark secrets, and true Christian character.

About the Author
George MacDonald (1824-1905), Scottish poet, preacher, and novelist was one of the most original and influential writers of Victorian Britain. He wrote over 50 books with millions of copies sold, and he was one of the most popular authors of the day on both sides of the Atlantic.P>

Drawn to the pulpit early, MacDonald eventually left to pursue his writing. Numbered among Dickens, Trollope, and other giants of the age as a novelist, MacDonald ended his career with over fifty books ranging from fantastical literature, to children's stories, to critical essays, and numerous novels. In addition to writing, MacDonald lectured extensively.

MacDonald's fiction combined the man's immense spiritual understanding with his innate storytelling ability. His works have influenced writers like C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and many others.

Michael Phillips is one of the premier fiction authors publishing in the Christian marketplace. He has authored more than fifty books, with total sales exceeding five million copies. He's also the editor of the popular George MacDonald Classics series.

Phillips owns and operates a Christian bookstore on the West Coast. He and his wife, Judy, have three grown sons and make their home in Eureka, California.
