At the Back of the North Wind (Christian Fiction… door George MacDonald
AR: 5.4
When Princess Irene and her nursemaid stay out too late one night and are chased home by goblins, a young miner boy called Curdie comes to their rescue. So begins a fantastic adventure in which Irene and Curdie must try to stop a goblin invasion, helped by Irene's mysterious great-great-grandmother. This edition includes the sequel, "The Princess and Curdie".
Pure wisdom and poetic insight into the heart and nature of God.
I don't really know what to make of this book. At times it was boring, at other times baffling, and at still other times deeply profound. I felt like the ending was rather anticlimactic. I am a huge fan of MacDonald's Unspoken Sermons and have great respect for his almost poetic approach to theology. For whatever reason, though, Lilith just didn't connect for me. Maybe I will try again in a few years.
