A review by jaminnj
The King of the Golden River by John Ruskin

3.0

A fairy tale written by John Ruskin in two sittings for a young girl. A wonderful tale with a clear strong moral. Perhaps, I should call it more of a fable. This one is short, only 5 chapters.. available for free on Kindle and also as a librivox recording. Check comments below for the links to each. The young girl it is written for becomes his wife years later.. and the book becomes a classic. I never read this as a child.. but I am sure it is one that my children will remember. A wonderful introduction to Ruskin for anyone who enjoys a nice story.

“There is no wealth but life.”
