In this excerpt from their February 10 book club recap episode, the Ladies announce their next pick for the Lutheran Ladies’ Book Club: George MacDonald’s The Princess and the Goblin.

From one of many publisher descriptions:

"When Princess Irene and her nursemaid stay out too late one night and are chased home by goblins, a young miner boy called Curdie comes to their rescue. So begins a fantastic adventure in which Irene and Curdie must try to stop a goblin invasion, helped by Irene's mysterious great-great-grandmother. This much-loved tale was a personal favourite of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien."

Looking ahead, the Ladies also announce their upcoming summer book club read: book three of C. S. Lewis’s renowned Space Trilogy, That Hideous Strength.
