From the very height of his writing career, another George MacDonald classic novel retold for today's reader by Michael R. Phillips. Beautifully set in the proud culture of the Scottish Highlands, the Laird's Inheritance introduces the reader to a young boy, Cosmo Warlock, the last in a long line of landowning "lairds" of the Castle Warlock. His family once wealthy, Cosmo now grows up in poverty as piece after piece of the Laird's land is sold or mortgaged away to keep the creditors at bay. This moving account the loss of an earthly inheritance has become a vivid word portrait from the pen of Scotland's master storyteller to display the eternal inheritance of a heavenly kingdom. A mysterious death in the family, legends surrounding the castle, a mysterious old poem, and unexpected romance -- well-crafted fiction combined with spiritual truth to make an unforgettable story! - Back cover.
