The plot and action is understated while descriptions seem to go on for pages. The writing style (naturally) is rather clunky and old-fashioned. In the end it was quite poignant and sweet. Then, as is the case with so many older books, I began to really enjoy it once I got past the first two thirds or so. This time around I was a bit more inspired, but it was still slow going getting through it. Since Lewis and Tolkien atribute so much of their inspiration to George MacDonald, I wanted to give it a second try. I started this book when I was young but didn't get more than a few chapters into it.
