""Annals of a Quiet Neighbourhood"" is a novel by George MacDonald, first published in 1867. The story follows the life of a young man named Henry Walton, who moves to the small English town of Marshmallows to become the curate of the local church. Through a series of journal entries and letters, Walton chronicles his experiences living and working in the town, as well as his relationships with the various townspeople, including his love interest, Edith Stallwood. Throughout the novel, MacDonald explores themes of faith, love, and community, as well as the struggles and joys of daily life in a small town. The book is known for its vivid descriptions of the English countryside and its portrayal of the complexities of human relationships. MacDonald's writing is often poetic and introspective, and the novel has been praised for its depth and insight into the human condition. Overall, ""Annals of a Quiet Neighbourhood"" is a thoughtful and engaging novel that offers a glimpse into the life of a small English town in the 19th century, and the people who call it home.""Do I now hear any of my friends saying in their hearts: Let the rich take that! It does not apply to us. We are poor enough? Ah, my friends, I have known a light-hearted, liberal rich man lose his riches, and be liberal and light-hearted still. I knew a rich lady once, in giving a large gift of money to a poor man, say apologetically, 'I hope it is no disgrace in me to be rich, as it is none in you to be poor.' It is not the being rich that is wrong, but the serving of riches, instead of making them serve your neighbour and yourself.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
