by George MacDonald

Overview

David Elginbrod is a novel giving a vivid depiction of Scottish country life, in the dialect of Aberdeen. The chief characters are upright and righteous, a dignified and pious Scottish peasant, and his daughter. The novel interweaves the story with a strand of mysticism and mesmerism. Critics are glowing in their praise of this work: "A novel which is the work of a man of genius. It will attract the highest class of readers" - Times. "A clever novel. The incidents are exciting, and the interest is maintained to the close. It may be doubted if Sir Walter Scott himself ever painted a Scotch fireside with more truth." - Morning Post.
