Featuring vintage illustrations, English translation of all Scots dialogue, and an introduction by Dr. Carolyn Weber, award-winning author of Surprised by Oxford, speaker and professor at New College Franklin
THE ELECT LADY is the story of three childhood friends, whose histories become entangled with a fabled golden cup. Declared by its possessor to be the Holy Grail itself, it has by that time wormed its way into his heart, imperilling his soul, and leading him far from the path of truth. Only his servant, the true-hearted Dawtie, seems to care for his danger, but can even she save the miser from his idol, and will her simple faith hold firm when she faces her greatest trial?
"The Elect Lady [is] a surprisingly slender novel that packs quite a punch. MacDonald lifts the veil on each character's very human struggles and flaws; he considers the small ways we justify our idols to ourselves. Serendipitous golden nuggets pop up everywhere, and on every topic, without warning and without artifice. He makes us look at our ordinary world twice: what it is, and what it will be."
