5.0 out of 5 stars
A children's book for adults!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lost Princess (Hardcover)
An insightful look below the surface of two souls that look a lot like us. Modern ideas of self-importance being instilled as a virtue are skewered, and humility and obedience are offered as antidotes. Either you love MacDonald, or you hate him, for his books are not easy to read... as they are not about somebody else. Horn (above) did not like the sermonizing, but these were the best bits in our opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A children's book that relates deeply to any reader,

This review is from: The Lost Princess (Hardcover)
This book was the first book in a college course called 'Violence and Grace' So true, the title of this course, for the book as well. MacDonald has a magical story-telling ability that impacted the writtings of CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien, and this is a great book to introduce you to his masterful writtings. If this is the same copy I bought, the artwork is beautifully complimentary as well. I HIGHLY suggest this book to people of EVERY reading ability and personality.

5.0 out of 5 stars
'The Lost Princess' is unpredictable and delightful.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lost Princess (Hardcover)
George MacDonald is the type of writer that you can't predict. You never know where he is going to go next. This is the type of book I wish there were more of for my children to read. We got it at the library, but now we're going to buy it and we're giving it to other children as birthday gifts. Books that inspire and entertain at the same time are rare. People don't like his books because he calls a thing what it is and that hits too close to home.
