A boy called Diamond (named after his father's favourite horse!) is befriended by the North Wind who takes him on many adventures with her.

This magical and enchanting story can be seen to represent God's will working through pain and death for greater good.

      Little Diamond, the sickly son of a poor Victorian cabby, during a deathly fever, takes a trip across the River Styx and back again to warm the spirits of those around him. In a soothing Scottish brogue, Tom Fleming narrates the 1871 novel and plays the part of a kind tutor. With energetic innocence and proficiency beyond his years, Pax Baldwin reads the role of the remarkable 7-year-old, while Juliet Stevenson portrays North Wind, a character who is at once beautiful and comforting while being haunting and ominous as Diamond's guide to the other side. With a full cast and Dolby sound, Focus on the Family brings MacDonald's classic to a new generation. S.E.S. 2006 Audie Award Winner (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
