3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. a very mixed bag indeed: watch out for that play/drama at the end By bmuse Consider this a friendly warning. This anthology assembles several works written by George MacDonald, at least one of which (Photogen and Nycteris) has in fact been published all by itself, but all of the contents are shorter works of his, considerably shorter than his full-length novels (an unabridged "Sir Gibbie," for example, goes over four hundred pages in length). This collection is a real grab bag, because not everything in here is of the same quality, and the pieces come from various periods in MacDonald's writing career. They are kind of thrown together in here just because they are lesser-known and not all that lengthy.One of them deserves obscurity, hence my warning. The earliest piece of writing in "Stephen Archer" comes at the very end, and it is called "If I Had A Father." It is nothing like a novel, and with good reason: MacDonald was so early into his career as a writer, when he wrote "If I Had A Father," that he had yet to write one single novel. His publishers had not yet sat him down and had the talk with him which would change his life: write novels, young man, if you want the public to buy anything of yours and to keep a roof over your head. Up to this early point, MacDonald had written poems and dramatic verse, such as "Within and Without.""If I Had A Father" is a drama, a play in several scenes, and it stinks to high heaven. It is really, really pathetic. MacDonald had a very difficult time writing it, as his letters to his wife disclose (quoted in various biographies). Never again did MacDonald attempt anything of the sort....oh, by the way, nobody would publish the thing, not even the publishers who printed his poetry. The only way that MacDonald could publish "If I Had a Father" during his lifetime was to sneak it into an anthology of shorter stories...like this one!Only the biographers, the completist/collectors, and the students who review each MacDonald piece with regard to the whole of his oeuvre, will have any use for "If I Had A Father." Read it at your own risk. Otherwise, enjoy the other pieces in this anthology.
