And now, to their surprise, the light, instead of being in front of them, was shining at the same distance to the right, where they did not know there was any passage at all. Then they discovered, by the light of the lanterns they carried, that there the water had broken through, and made an entrance to a part of the mountain of which Peter knew nothing. But t. . .

The Princess and the Goblin is one of the gems of children's literature that deserves to sit on any bookshelf. The same can not be said of its sequel The Princess and Curdie, which differs so much in tone and content from the original that it is sometimes difficult to remember it is in fact a sequel
What a gem this two-book series is!
Like Pilgrim’s Progress, this children’s fairytale is full of such profound truths and beauty. Rich in character and moral parables, this book is one that should be owned by all and read often.
And the story is exceptional! So much thought must have gone into it be
I love George MacDonald. I especially like his fairy tale and fantasy books. Like C.S. Lewis, I love the theology in the stories, and I always find something that speaks to me, or causes me to think more deeply. For example, "It is always dangerous to do things you don't know about."

The ending? what was that about? Don´t going to spoil anything but it was to short.

George MacDonald writes wonderfully and that is the only positive thing coming out of my mouth/keyboard in this review.
The book took a completely different direction than the last one, turned more baffling and boring by the second and did not answer the questions I previously had. That great, old, h
The first chapter of this book was very slow and boring, but it picked up soon after and swung into a clever adventure. I loved seeing Curdie grow up, and it was delightful when Irene and her king-papa came into the story again. (And that spunky housemaid was a treat!) Also, Curdie and Lina's unexpe
This is a strange, strange little book, and it was even stranger for me when I first read it without having read "The Princess and the Goblin". The religious allegories in the book now remind me of C.S. Lewis' "Perelandra" trillogy, and a lot of the rest is VERY dark for a children's book. There's a
