A boy named Almaz lives in a small room above the stable and sleeps on a haystack. One evening, a beautiful and mysterious woman appears to him, calling herself the Queen of the North Wind from a distant fairyland. Almaz agrees to fly with her, and a real adventure begins for him. The Queen of the North Wind sometimes appears in the form of a wolf, sometimes in the form of a star, sometimes she is huge, sometimes tiny…. But always brave and strong, incredibly wise and truthful.K. S. Lewis, the author of the famous “Chronicles of Narnia,” said this about George MacDonald: “He writes best in the fantasy genre, using both allegory and mythology. And this, in my opinion, he does better than anyone.” The story of the North Wind helps to understand what injustice and death are, teaches love and forgiveness. For middle school age.
