Howdy hey,
Finishing up my summer with some reading and MacDonald's been on my list for a while. :D Seeing as how he was one of C.S. Lewis' inspirations I thought I'd check out some of his books.

I started with Phantastes. Has anyone else read this book? What did you think of it? Did anyone else find the plot (or lack thereof) somewhat disjointed?

Overall I left this book pretty disappointed but I'd love to hear what you all have to say about it. Also, maybe you could recommend some others for me to try? :)

I've never read Phantastes (should I? :P), but if you want a sample of what is considered one of MacDonald's best works, you could try reading The Princess and the Goblin. :)

I agree with Blizzard - read the Princess and the Goblin. And then the Princess and Curdie, the sequel. I want to see Focus on the Family do an adaptation of TPatG for Radio Theatre. :cool:

I've never read Phantastes but The Princess and the Goblin is really good.

Seems I should read the Princess and the Goblin then. I think I have that on my nook, so... *goes to read*

Ooh, Focus on the Family RT is cool! :cool:

I read both the Princess and the Goblin and then the sequel. And I came out of them liking MacDonald. :D
