Customer Reviews

Curate of Glaston, The

C.S.Lewis once wrote a review using the words, "Here are beauties that pierce like swords or burn like cold iron...Good beyond hope". These words say what I would say of this trilogy.

Slow Starter but Worth the Time

A wonderful tale of a minister's search for Christ and the lives that are affected because of it. It was because of this book that my interest in George Macdonald began!

Three books under one cover, a treasure; don't miss this one

Michael Phillips is a superb editor of George MacDonald's books, in case you haven't discovered that. The first book is about a minister who doesn't know the Lord, but comes to it. He makes aquaintance of some surprising people who are dwarfs and they share their lives with him (and us)in a touching, incredible way; they really are at the heart of the story. Also in this is a wonderful, albiet difficult love of a sister for her brother that could be today, not the late 1800's, when it was written. Another is about a doctor and a beautiful woman. I read every Geroge MacDonald I can find, and this is one of the best.
