Autumn's Gold
'Autumn's Gold' Summary
Autumn's Gold tells the story of young Cyril, a boy deeply connected to the natural world. As autumn arrives, he experiences both the beauty of the season and the bittersweet sense of loss that accompanies it. Cyril is drawn to a mysterious glen where he meets nature spirits and encounters a fascinating, seemingly magical world. Through these encounters, Cyril grapples with questions of life and death, loss and hope. He learns about the interconnectedness of all things, the transient nature of beauty, and the resilience of the spirit. The story is told with MacDonald's characteristic blend of fantasy, spirituality, and moral insight. The book explores the idea that even in the midst of change and loss, there is beauty and hope to be found. MacDonald's writing is lyrical and evocative, capturing the essence of childhood wonder and the profound spiritual journey that lies within.Book Details
