What's Mine's Mine (Vol. 1-3)

'What's Mine's Mine' is a novel set in the wilds of Scottish Highlands in the middle of the 19th century that captures one of the most important periods of Scottish history - the crumbling of the clans and the migrations of the impoverished clansmen and farmers as their homeland is bought out from under them by the rich and mercenary landowners from the south. Among those ambitious and gain-seeking men is the protagonist of this novel Peregrine Palmer, who has just moved with his family to the Highland Region...

George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a Scottish author, poet and Christian minister. He was a pioneering figure in the field of modern fantasy literature and the mentor of fellow writer Lewis Carroll. In addition to his fairy tales, MacDonald wrote several works on Christian apologetics. His best-known works are 'Phantastes', 'The Princess and the Goblin', 'At the Back of the North Wind', and 'Lilith', all fantasy novels, and fairy tales such as 'The Light Princess', 'The Golden Key', and 'The Wise Woman'. MacDonald's use of fantasy as a literary medium for exploring the human condition greatly influenced a generation of notable authors, including C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien.
