Princess and Curdie, The: Reviewed

Author:George MacDonald
Reading Level (Conceptual):Children 5 and up
Reading Level (Vocabulary):Children 5 and up
Genre:fiction, fairy tale
Year of publication:1873

A parable that preaches unquestioning loyalty to an inherited monarchy and being hospitable to strangers.

Like At the Back of the North Wind by the same author, this one is a book that fails to transcend its times.

I found it nearly impossible to stomach from early on. My 12 year old became outraged by the ending.

-- Emily Berk
