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 are $24 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.
