Commentary Based On Books Sir Gibbie (Sir Gibbie #1)

This is a children's version of Sir Gibbie, edited and condensed by Michael Phillips. It's easy to read and understand... And a wonderful depiction of God's love to EVERYONE. I found this book in an antique store in Chestertown 1 year ago and instantly became addicted to reading George MacDonald's books. They are a welcome change from the fluff found in most fiction and fantasy novels. I'm still addicted. :->

What a delightful read in this splendid translation by David Jack! MacDonald challenges us to know what goodness really is through the eyes of wee Gibbie. Could it be innate? We meet those who immediately love him and those who don't, but in their midst we do understand that love, real love, is the only thing that makes us good. I enjoyed reading of Glashgar, its surrounds, and its people. So many relationships, sermonettes, and adventures (the flood!) fill these pages.

One of the sweetest of George's stories. He has the most endearing street urchins, and Sir Gibbie is definately at the top of that list.

Compelling. Convicting. Chock full of near-impenetrable Scots dialect! I would not want anyone to abridge this book - having read both the full and abridged version of "The Fisherman's Lady," far too much is lost no matter the good intentions of the abridger. However, if someone could just *translate* it... :} Anyway, it took me a long time to read, as much because of its convicting qualities as the language: it is not difficult to follow the story or comprehend the characters, merely to

So I'm gonna keep this short because I don't have that many thoughts on this, here's the things I do want to say:-it is very well written, I feel like often classics seem very pretentious and wordy but I feel like this was the right balance of intelligent writing and easy to read and understand.-it's short!! A short classic!!! If only the font weren't so tiny . . .-I do wish the font was bigger because that +having less than a week to read this (well TECHNICALLY I had two months but I

Review coming...suffice it to say for now that some will not like this story because the main character is too good and because they feel like their emotions are being manipulated through a sentimental view of things. Some thoughts for now...this is a children's book, this is somewhat of a parable in which the main character is very much like Christ, and providence is the real and unseen character who is at the same time the author of each of the character's stories (within this book) and the

Although it wasn't a perfect book (a bit wordy in places, Scottish dialect was so thick that it was distracting, and some of the descriptions went over my head), it was so good that I can't help but give it five stars. What was good about it? I loved Gibbie. He made me want to be loving and good in the very best sense. As much as it showed goodness, it also showed badness for what it is, selfishness, weakness, and pride. There were so many truths and insights sprinkled throughout. The romance
