Many thanks gmd. And also to boombody. Am going through the inevitable 'rejection-letter phase' right now - but am confident that it'll get published by the 'right' people, when it's time. Am possibly in Hutnly tomorrow, so will have a seat at the stone benches outside the museum there - etched with many of Mr M's quotes
My sister and bother in law bought George Macdonald's hose (The Farm, Huntly) a few years ago. Thanks to him and teh 'feelings' in that house, I've now written a children's fantasy novel. I hope it's published - for my daughter and him.
Cambridge? Because it was pretty. There are also scenes in Illinois that pass for Scotland, and ships that aren't the one GMD sailed on but which look much like it etc. Artistic licence and all.
Part one is much more interesting to most people (the original part 1 had been favorited about 100 times before I took it down). The 2nd part is just about the man. It's his thoughts that are, and should be, the focus. There's also an underlying subtext about other worlds which is more important yet.

You can always put it on youtube. Don't use Xlibris as a publisher. They're awful.

Part 1 was interesting, but Part 2 is where the story really begins.
MacDonald is a fascinating author, who deserves to be better known. (Why is the film showing Kings College Cambridge as well as Aberdeen?)
