A review by davehershey
The Golden Key by George MacDonald

3.0

The Golden Key was kind of a weird short story. A young boy hears the story of the golden key and sets out to find it. Of course he enters a forest, Fairyland (Faerie), where all sorts of odd things are liable to happen. He meets up with a companion and they travel for what is years (or just seems like years?) to find a keyhole. It is fascinating to read MacDonald's work and see the same themes over and over - forests, journeys, Fairyland.

For the record, I am not sure what the "Other Stories" are as I am reading the complete works and this review is just of The Golden Key.
