Review # 1 was written on 2016-03-20 00:00:00 Baby Boy Possibly the language and era in which the tales in this book was written effected my enjoyment of this book. There were some tales in it that I did like, for example, The History of Photogen and Nycteris was quite good actually. Overall however, I found most of the tales to be preachy and in effect little more than sermons dressed up as fairy tales. This makes sense since the author, George MacDonald, was a Christian minister, but understanding in this case did not increase my enjoyment. On a positive note, the tales are very well written. The introduction also contains some very good insights by the author about writing and fairy tales in general that I found interesting. I do not dispute that this is an important and influential work, I just did not find the majority of the book to be entertaining. For those that enjoy reading the classics, don't let my review put you off. I am judging this book entirely by my enjoyment of it, not by its literary merit. I would say that it would be worth your time to give it a shot. You may find it much more rewarding than I did.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-12-16 00:00:00 Kurtis Ksiazek What can I say? Some writers are eternal and George MacDonald is one of them. I love him. I do. And his collection of fairy stories are so wonderful. I read this once again, for The Light Princess, which has themes and motifs that I love. What brilliant fiction. What a brilliant, thoughtful man George MacDonald was. I wish I had a time machine and I could go back and spend an afternoon with him. What a wonder!!!!!!!! Of all the things I have read in the last month, this has been my favorite. A REREAD FOR RESEARCH.
