The Golden Key and the Christian Imagination
Meeting George MacDonald I first met George MacDonald through the pages of his poetry and then, later, in his novels (the versions edited by Michael Phillips). I much preferred his poetry to his novels. And then I discovered his fantasy. I promptly told my college thesis advisor that I wanted to write my senior thesis on George MacDonald’s fairy tales. His first direction to me: “Read all of George MacDonald’s stories for children, and then come up with your thesis.” And so I did. My favorite story at the time was The Wise Woman (also known as The Lost Princess). I also enjoyed The Princess and the Goblin and The…

Fighting Words by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley: a Discussion
Fighting Words takes on a difficult topic with a feisty, flawed, brave protagonist. Sometimes a novel appears that seems to require more than a simple review. Two perspectives on it will be better than one. Such a novel is Fighting Words, by Newbery-honor author Kimberly Brubaker Bradley. Any children’s book that reaps seven (count ’em!) starred reviews from the top review journals is worth a look. This one, as the author reveals at the end, is deeply personal. For this discussion we’ve invited one of our faithful readers, Meredith Burton, to talk over Fighting Words with Janie. Janie: Our protagonist, Della Roberts, begins by warning us she has a sad…
