The Gray Wolf

George MacDonald, the master story-teller whose spiritual insight and myth-making artistry garnered the devotion of greats such as CS Lewis and GK Chesterton, places the reader in the grip of his revealing parables found in his short stories for the childlike. In this, among his best short stories, a young man finds himself lost on a northern Scottish Isle in a storm, taken in by the hospitality of a young woman and her mother. But he soon discovers there are more dangers on this island than rain and wind.
