Wilfrid Cumbermede

Wilfrid Cumbermede is a novel written by George MacDonald, published in 1872. It tells the story of a young man named Wilfrid Cumbermede, who inherits a large estate from his father. Wilfrid is a sensitive and introspective character who struggles to find his place in the world, and as he navigates the challenges of his new life, he is forced to confront the difficult truths about his family's past. Along the way, he falls in love with a young woman named Helen Lingard, and the two must navigate the complexities of their relationship amidst the backdrop of Wilfrid's inheritance and the secrets that surround it. MacDonald's novel is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and redemption, and it is widely regarded as one of his most powerful works.When I returned home for the Christmas holidays, I told my uncle, amongst other things, all that I have just recorded; for although the affair seemed far away from me now, I felt that he ought to know it. He was greatly pleased with my behaviour in regard to the apple. He did not identify the place, however, until he heard the name of the housekeeper: then I saw a cloud pass over his face. It grew deeper when I told him of my second visit, especially while I described the man I had met in the wood.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
