Robert Falconer is a novel by George MacDonald, published in 1868. The story follows Robert Falconer, a young man raised by his strict, Calvinist grandmother in the Scottish town of Rothieden. Believing himself fatherless, Robert discovers his father is still alive and sets out on a quest to find him. Along the way, he befriends a poor fiddler's grandson, Shargar, and encounters characters who shape his spiritual awakening. Through his journey to London, Robert questions rigid religious doctrines and comes to know a God of love rather than fear. The novel explores themes of faith, redemption, and the eternal search for a loving father, both earthly and divine.
