The unique blend of fairy tale atmosphere and social realism in
this novel laid the groundwork for modern fantasy literature. In
the novel, Little Diamond, a kind and precocious boy living in
poverty, is befriended by the mysterious North Wind, who takes him
on her nightly adventures. Written in intensely poetic language, At
the Back of the North Wind transcends the genres of children's book
or fairy tale. Appendices include essays on childhood by
contemporaries such as John Ruskin and Charles Dickens, as well as
contextualizing selections from Victorian fantasy and fairy tales.
