Donal Grant

George MacDonald

In search of a new beginning, Donal Grant leaves his home behind and takes on the role of tutor to a young boy living in a magnificent castle. This enchanting estate is not only home to an eccentric old man and a beautiful yet troubled young woman, but it also guards an ancient family legend about a secret room hidden within its walls. Though a sequel to Sir Gibbie by the same author, this captivating tale stands alone as a rich and immersive story. - Summary by Devorah Allen
