The fisherman's lady

Rating:
Summary: Excellent
Review: .
"The Fisherman's Lady" and its sequel "The Marquis Secret" are available in a single volume, "Malcom".

This and "The Highlander's Last Song" are among his best.

An excellent gift for a University lecturer or a politicians wife.

MacDonald inspired men like Tolkien, Lewis and Chesterton. If you like tension between characters you can't beat MacDonald. The man was a genius.

Enjoy.

Summary: A Romance of a Different sort.
Review: Excellent reading! This was my introduction to George MacDonald's books. Not a soppy romance as today's authors tend to write, but even one that men would enjoy reading for leisure! As I am a GREAT fan of C.S.Lewis' and Tolkien's writings, I was fascinated to find that both these author's drew a lot of their inspiration from MacDonald's writings. I have since read "The Princess & the Goblin", "The Princess & Curdie", "The Golden Key", and "The Light Princess". My husband is currently reading Phantastes and we have also bought Lilith, still to be read. I look forward to getting "The Marquis' Secret" if I can, as I really would like to follow the full story!!

Summary: Christian fiction at its best!
Review: This book was my introduction to George MacDonald's adult fiction, and I think his best! Don't miss the sequel, The Marqui's Secret. As a child I grew up reading C.S. Lewis, John White and MacDonald's writings and developed a love for the keen insights and deep thoughts in MacDonald's novels as well as his inspirational books. Interestingly, he was the spiritual and literary mentor for both Lewis and Tolkein. They are not a lightweight romances like modern authors tend to write, but classic love story both men and women read and enjoy.
