Today we talked about George Macdonald and his really fascinating family. I was shocked that he had eleven kids most of them being girls. That must have been a really busy household. I think that because of his kids it made him a really great writer. The book the Princess and the Goblin really is a tale that I could see many kids enjoying especially during the Victorian times. I believe that to be a good children's writer you have to have a knack for kids. Because of Lewis Carroll's love for children, he was able to write the famous Alice in Wonderland.
