A review by amandagstevens
The Golden Key by George MacDonald

4.0

A parable of a journey to the "land from whence the shadows fall." In true MacDonald fashion, not everything lines up to a specific allegorical meaning but rather guides the reader into contemplation and quiet awareness of spiritual realities in general, and in particular the trials that cleanse and mature us along our way. Gentle and subtle, and the sacrifice and metamorphosis of the "air-fish" is particularly lovely.
