In this Radio Theatre audio drama adaptation of George MacDonald's classic story, a beautiful woman known as the North Wind blows through a small village in Victorian London, and everyday lives are mysteriously enveloped by a power and a glory. Along the way, she visits a poor stable boy named Diamond and takes him with her on her journeys. At the Back of the North Wind explores the place of death in our lives, social injustice, and our deep need for love and forgiveness.

C. S. Lewis, author of the classic Chronicles of Narnia series, said of MacDonald, "What he does best is fantasy--fantasy that hovers between the allegorical and the mythopoeic. And this, in my opinion, he does better than any man. MacDonald is the greatest genius of this kind whom I know."

Seven-year-old Diamond, a poor stableboy, receives a visit from the beautiful dark-eyed woman known as North Wind. Their adventures in the land at "the back" of the North Wind teach him — and us — eternal truths about life, love and forgiveness. Set in Victorian England, George MacDonald’s classic novel will stir your heart and spirit.

Fully dramatized with sensational sound design, specially composed musical score and a host of Britain's leading actors, including Juliet Stevenson and Joss Ackland.

At the Back of the North Wind was recognized for Best Achievement in Production at The 2006 Audie Awards, presented by the Audio Publishers Association Friday, May 19, 2006.
