She did not stay out long this first day, for the life the air gave her soon tired her weak body. But the next morning she was brighter and better, and longing to get up and go out again. When she was once more laid on her couch on the lawn, in the midst of the world of light and busy-ness, in which the light was the busiest of all, she said to me:
"Papa, I had such a strange dream last night: shall I tell it you?"
"If you please, my dear. I am very fond of dreams that have any sense in them—or even of any that have good nonsense in them. I woke this morning, saying to myself, 'Dante, the poet, must have been a respectable man, for he was permitted by the council of Florence to carry the Nicene Creed and the Multiplication Table in his coat of arms.' Now tell me your dream."

One of my favorite books. I love the combination of story/romance, scenic description, quirky characters, and musings philosophical and theological. Also the little nuggets of parenting wisdom (the narrator is a dad of teens and younger at this point) throughout are gold.
I love how MacDonald is always quoting, explaining, and expounding Scripture in this book. He seems to have a very high view of Scripture or he wouldn’t devote so much effort in writing about it. It’s encouraging because so many of his readers don’t have a high view of Scripture, and it doesn’t seem
Another great peice from this immensely gifted story teller. Full of sound biblical truths
A lot of good preaching and reflections on life and nature, but I can't recommend it as a novel. The story itself is slow and often uninteresting, and feels very much disconnected from the much more enthralling story of which it is the sequel.
