The Golden Key by George MacDonald

2.0

Well, they definitely don't write books like this anymore. Is that a good thing? Well, I'm not quite sure... This was so random and irrational that I'm not quite sure how to take it. It wasn't even supposed to make sense rationally. I think this must be what is meant by a book truly written for children: it's totally whimsical and crazy, but warm and comforting at the same time. No drama or tension at all. Nothing bad to say about it, just not my style I guess, but I think my kids would be bored with it, too.
