Ranald Bannerman's Boyhood - Hardcover

by George MacDonald (Author)

George MacDonald, one of the most influential Christian authors of the 19th century, returns with "Ranald Bannerman's Boyhood," a tale of adventurous boys and their growing pains. While George MacDonald is most celebrated for his children's fantasies and fairytales, which take inspirational Christian lessons on faith and morality and make them entertaining and easy to understand, Ranald Bannerman's Boyhood is a more realistic look at life through the eyes of a boy.

Being vaguely autobiographical in nature, this coming of age story features a young, motherless boy who gets swept away in adventures, all while his father teaches him courage, strength, and honesty as Ranald grows to learn how to use the goodness in his heart. This beautiful, compelling story reminds us of what it feels like to have a kindhearted spirit and childlike wonder, something that is heavily valued in the eyes of faith. With a bright cast of characters and heartwarming scenes, Ranald Bannerman's Boyhood is not just a novel for young boys, but for anyone who wants to get lost in the nostalgia of childhood again.
