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. . .

George MacDonald's The Princess and Curdie is a sequel to The Princess and the Goblin, which I have not read. In fact, this is the first work by MacDonald that I have attempted. This book is an interesting fairy tale, with a difference. As I recall, most of the fairy tales I have read involve a conf
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."

I don't think this is quite as fun to read as The Princess and the Goblin but it is still a wonderful book. Perhaps its deeper lessons take away from the joy of the story. Nevertheless, it is a wonderful book. My recent student was quite put out that the history of Gwynytystorm ended so dismally.
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
