About
"The Marquis of Lossie" by George MacDonald is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is centered around Malcolm Colonsay, a complex character who is revealed to be the illegitimate son of the Marquis of Lossie.

The beginning of the novel introduces Malcolm in the stable-yard of Lossie House, illustrating his connection to the estate and his dedication to a difficult mare, Kelpie. Through dialogues with the estate's factor, Mr. Crathie, Malcolm’s struggles with his position and the expectations placed upon him are clear.
