There was a boy who used to sit in the twilight and listen to his
great-aunt's stories. She told him that if he could reach the place
where the end of the rainbow stands he would find there a golden
key... "And what is the key for?" the boy would ask. "What is it
the key of? What will it open?" "That nobody knows," his aunt would
reply. "He has to find that out." Now all that his great-aunt told
the boy about the golden key would have been nonsense, had it not
been that their little house stood on the borders of Fairyland. For
it is perfectly well known that out of Fairyland nobody ever can
find where the rainbow stands... George MacDonald's classic tale,
full of imagination and dreamlike images, tells of a girl and boy,
Tangle and Mossy, who venture on a mysterious and magical journey.
First, Tangle encounters three Old Men - of the Sea, of the Earth
and of Fire - and gains in wisdom and beauty through her
adventures. Then, together with Mossy who has the golden key, they
travel to the rainbow to discover what awaits them there... This
new edition of The Golden Key is exquisitely illustrated with
paintings by Angela Lord, who also provides an informative
Afterword.
