The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald

5.0

Re-read this for the first time in years--one of my childhood favorites. It held just as much wonder and surreality as I remembered, which I adored. It did have a lot more heavy handed Christian belief analogies than I remembered, though. On the other hand, it can also be pretty clearly read as a narrative about women not being believed, so I didn't really mind it. It also had lot to say about belief that, in general, I agree with, if not specifically in a Christian context. Gave me thought as a child, and even more so as an adult.
