I Say: First published in 1863, this is an outstanding classic. The author, George MacDonald, was a large influence in the life and writing of C.S. Lewis. This might be described as an old-fashioned novel - but it really has some very up-to-date dilemmas answered in a today kind of way.

From front cover:
His character was being shaped by circumstances and forces seemingly beyond his control. How could he face the poignant choices before him?

A remarkable story with the special MacDonald touch--retold for today's reader. A captivating story of love and suspense. "His character was being shaped by circumstances and forces seemingly beyond his control. How could he face the poignant choices before him?"
This was a very strange story. The evil character was into some strange practices. The Ghost was exciting and the ending was sad and happy. God always helps those who believe in him.
