St. George and St. Michael is a historical novel by George MacDonald, first published in 1876. Set in the 17th century, the story follows the lives of two families, one Protestant and one Catholic, during the time of the English Civil War. The main characters are two young men, Charles and Julian, who are friends despite their religious differences. As the war rages on, the two families are torn apart by their beliefs and loyalties. Charles and Julian find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict, and their friendship is put to the test. The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and the impact of religious and political differences on personal relationships. It is a thought-provoking and emotional tale of two young men caught up in a tumultuous time in English history.I doubt if anything but the consciousness of crime will keep healthy youth awake, and as such consciousness is generally far from it, youth seldom counts the watches of the night. Richard soon fell fast asleep, and dreamed that his patron saint--alas for his protestantism!--appeared to him, handed him a lance headed with a single flashing diamond, and told him to go and therewith kill the dragon.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
