Ranald Bannerman's Boyhood is a novel by Scottish author George MacDonald, first published in 1871. The book is a coming-of-age story that follows the adventures of Ranald Bannerman, a young boy growing up in rural Scotland in the mid-19th century. The story begins with Ranald's idyllic childhood, spent exploring the countryside, playing with his friends, and learning from his wise grandfather. But as he grows older, Ranald begins to encounter more complex challenges, including poverty, illness, and death. Despite these hardships, Ranald remains optimistic and resilient, drawing strength from his faith and his love for his family and community. Along the way, he learns valuable lessons about perseverance, kindness, and the importance of hard work. Throughout the book, MacDonald weaves together themes of faith, morality, and social justice, creating a rich and nuanced portrait of Scottish life in the 19th century. Ranald Bannerman's Boyhood is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers of all ages.Well, there was a shepherd many years ago, who lived not far from the pot. He was a knowing man, and understood all about kelpies and brownies and fairies. And he put a branch of the rowan-tree ( mountain-ash), with the red berries in it, over the door of his cottage, so that the kelpie could never come in.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
