Spenser And The Discourses Of Reformation England Book

A thoughtful and civil look at Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, its atheistic ideology and its suitability as children's literature, as well as a consideration of the sources that Pullman drew from to create his story and a look at other contemporary children's literature, including Harry Potter, which is considered a positive series.


Some recommended reading includes Lloyd Alexander's Prydain Chronicles, Chesterton's Father Brown series, Elizabeth Goudge's The Little White Horse and Linnets and Valerians, Brian Jacque's Redwall series, Dianna Wynne Jones' Chestomanci series, Robin McKinley's Rose Daughter, Elizabeth Marie Pope's Sherwood Ring and The Perilous Gard, as well as Patricia C. Wrede's hilarious Enchanted Forest Chronicles.
