The Golden Key by George MacDonald

3.0

It’s brimming with magic and beautifully written but I haven’t the slightest idea what any of it means. There’s an awful lot of afterlife imagery and an awful lot of sadness and growing up. And all of that lends it quite the air of importance. It’s certainly good and even more certainly wise. But perhaps it’s a wisdom that I’m not yet again young enough to understand. I quite liked the feathered fishes.
