Donal Grant is a novel written by Scottish author George MacDonald, first published in 1883. The book follows the story of Donal Grant, a young man who leaves his home in Edinburgh to work as a tutor for the wealthy Scaurnose family in the Scottish Highlands. Donal is a sensitive and thoughtful young man who is deeply affected by the beauty of the landscape and the people he meets in the Highlands. As he spends more time in the area, he becomes increasingly interested in the local folklore and mythology, and begins to have strange and powerful dreams that seem to be connected to the ancient stories of the region. As Donal becomes more involved in the lives of the Scaurnose family and the people of the Highlands, he begins to uncover secrets and hidden truths that have been buried for generations. He also falls in love with the beautiful and mysterious Marjory, a young woman who is haunted by her own past and the legacy of her family's history. The novel is a complex and multi-layered exploration of themes such as love, faith, identity, and the power of myth and storytelling. MacDonald's writing is poetic and evocative, and he weaves together elements of Scottish folklore and mythology with his own philosophical and spiritual beliefs. Donal Grant is a deeply moving and thought-provoking novel that offers a rich and vivid portrait of Scotland's landscape, history, and culture.He had not gone far when he found himself on a wide moor. He sat down on a big stone, and began to turn things over in his mind. This is how his thoughts went: I can never be the man I was! The thoucht o' my heart 's ta'en frae me! I canna think aboot things as I used. There's naething sae bonny as afore.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
