The Castle: Part II

Welcome and thanks for stopping by! We are a husband and wife team in rural Minnesota. One afternoon, feeling overwhelmed by daily life, we decided to read a short story by George MacDonald together. We began exchanging our ideas about it. Then it struck Catherine that this would make a fun idea for a podcast. And the rest is history! Whether you're here as an ardent scholar of George MacDonald, as someone completely new to the MacDonald scene, or somewhere in the middle, we appreciate your curiosity about our content.
