A Valuable Book
Sherry Woomert
(5 Sterne)
As others have noted, the storytelling herein is great. Not saccharine, contrived or trite, but wholesome, enjoyable and wise. MacDonald presents the characters realistically with their various virtues and vices. However he makes none of them objects for us to despise but sadly, people who reject the offer of God's help, or happily, those who choose to walk with the Good Shepherd. His portrayal of Ranald's childhood in Scotland is winsome, attractive and secure in his father's love.

Unbelievably deep, there are simply no words to say how well written this book is. This is one of those sweet gems of writing that every person of any age can enjoy reading multiple times and get new insights from each time. I am awestruck.
Edifying story.

Interesting story. There are multiple readers, which detracts some, but they all did a fair job.

Wonderful tales of childhood, beautifully told, with gentle spiritual lessons. Narration is uneven.
