Description: "Roderick McGillis' excellent collection of new and reprinted articles on MacDonald's fantasies for children has greatly increased my appreciation of the author's technical skill, intellectual capacity, and moral seriousness. McGillis has put together an excellent selection of MacDonald criticism. This volume belongs in any library with serious holdings in either children's or Victorian literature and should give both pleasure and insight to those familiar with MacDonald's fiction." -- Sfra Review "...worth reading for its intellectual depth and stimulation...highly recommended for the reference library and the student of children's literature." -- Australian Library Journal "...this is a book which should be read by everyone who is seriously interested in MacDonald's vision. Not only does it contain two quite outstanding essays, but every essay can stimulate the reader into new insights..." -- Northwind "He holds a firm place in the canon of children's literature...for sophisticated readers who know MacDonald well and are interested in the techniques of critical examination" -- School Library Journal for sophisticated readers who know MacDonald well and are interested in the techniques of critical examination" -- School Library Journal for sophisticated readers who know MacDonald well and are interested in the techniques of critical examination" -- School Library Journal for sophisticated readers who know MacDonald well and are interested in the techniques of critical examination" -- School Library Journal
