Huntly House is a reference to the childhood home of one of our most favorite authors, George MacDonald.  Born December 10^th, 1824, in Huntly, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, MacDonald is said to have mentored the great writer, Lewis Carroll and strongly influenced the likes of W.H. Auden, C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, J.R.R. Tolkien, L. Frank Baum, Madeleine L’Engle, and the great Mark Twain…just to name a few. He is known particularly for his fantasy writing. Works such as Phantastes (1858), At the Back of the North Wind (1871), The Princess and the Goblin (1872), and Lilith are among our favorites. To learn about George MacDonald, you might spend some time at The Golden Key website, home to the George MacDonald society.
