À propos de ce contenu audio

 Welcome and thanks for stopping by! We are a husband and wife team in rural Minnesota. One afternoon, feeling overwhelmed by daily life, we decided to read a short story by George MacDonald together. We began exchanging our ideas about it. Then it struck Catherine that this would make a fun idea for a podcast. And the rest is history! Whether you're here as an ardent scholar of George MacDonald, as someone completely new to the MacDonald scene, or somewhere in the middle, we appreciate your curiosity about our content.Shaun and Catherine Kober Art

      In this episode, we read George MacDonald’s poem, “February,” from, “A Book of Strife in the Form of a Diary of an Old Soul.” We look at how this poem may reflect George MacDonald’s wrestling with God, winter, and his relationship with writing. We explore aspects of fatherlessness, death, light, and what it means to be a child. This episode contains spoilers from Sir Gibbie and Castle Warlock!
