Wingfold Spring 2024
Wingfold is a quarterly magazine that restores material by and about George MacDonald, in print since 1993. The issues feature the first reprints of press reports covering MacDonald's extempore sermons and lectures, the first publication of MacDonald family letters from diverse collections, reprinted articles on MacDonald by his contemporaries, new articles providing new information on the MacDonald family, and rare illustrations for MacDonald's works. Subscriptions to Wingfold (see sidebar at right) are $25 for US subscribers, $28 for Canadian subscribers, and $40 for overseas subscribers (see links on the right). The subscription fee covers all issues for the calendar year, so no material is missed. Most of back issues are still available, at $5 each U.S.
Some of these issues contain the first known reprints of short stories, articles and poems written by George MacDonald that had not been previously documented. Our complete tables of contents are listed at the Marion E. Wade Center's website and also featured on this website. For detailed information and availability regarding the back issues, please contact the editor, Barbara Amell, at b_amell@q.com

“Dr. MacDonald’s appearance is striking—a tall, sturdy figure, slightly bowed by age, surmounted by a grand head, with bushy snow-white hair and beard; a head in fact, which somehow reminds one of an old prophet of the wilderness…”
—from a newspaper report of a lecture MacDonald gave in Belfast in 1891
Wingfold Winter 2023
“There are thousands of young women in London who are practically homeless for two or three hours after their day’s work is done; and it is a disgrace to us as a people that while so much care and toil have been expended over young men in a corresponding position, that sisters should have been so little considered.”
—from an address George MacDonald gave in May, 1876
