The George McDonald Library | Podcast Guru

Details

Enter the strange and luminous worlds of George MacDonald, where hidden doors open, winds speak, princesses wander into peril, and the soul is rarely quite what it seems. The George McDonald Library presents MacDonald’s books in full, inviting you to linger in tales of wonder, mystery, sacrifice, courage, and unseen things. These are stories for children, certainly, but also for anyone who suspects that fairy tales may tell the truth in ways ordinary speech cannot. Come a little farther in. There is always another door.
