The Gold Thread Illustrated Norman Macleod Books
This version is much better than the free kindle version. The free one had some issues with the punctuation being weird; question marks where commas should be etc. Also the spacing of the songs weren't quite right. This version that I'm reviewing has illustrations and none of the issues with punctuation and spacing. It also has clickable chapters.As far as content of the book goes; I loved this book! This was my first time reading it and I thought it was a beautiful story of love and redemption!

The Gold Thread Illustrated Norman Macleod Books Reviews
Prince Eric is out in the dark, treacherous Hemlock Forest with his father, the good King Magnus. Young Eric disobeys his father and loses the Gold Thread by which he can find his way home. He meets Wolf the Swineherd who attacks him. They fight, but Eric wins and then forgives him, letting the swineherd go. After this, the prince is captured by Wolf's boss Ralph, the wicked king of the robbers, and imprisoned in Ralph's castle. Will Eric be able to escape? Is there anyone to help him? Where is the Gold Thread? And will he ever make it back home to his father?
Norman Macleod (1812-1872), a Scottish Presbyterian minister, first told this story to his own children. It was serialized in the 1860 Volume I of his magazine for children Good Words. Then it was published as a book in 1861. Apparently, the book form was substantially edited. I first became familiar with the title of Mcleod's book, which is a parable or allegory influenced by both Jesus's story of the Prodigal Son and John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, from its 2001 republication by Lamplighter Press in a retelling for contemporary readers by editor Mark Hamby. We love the Lamplighter books and have read many of them, but I chose the Whole Heart Ministries version of this one edited by Clay Clarkson because it restores Macleod's original, unedited version.
The full title of the Whole Heart edition is The Gold Thread And Other Stories of Young Faith. It includes four other lovely tales for children "The Rose Child" by Johanna Spyri, author of Heidi; "The Five Happy Weeks" by Margaret E. Sangster; "The Four Happy Days" by Frances Ridley Havergal, a famous hymn writer; and "Stories from the Land of Faith" by George Critchley. All of them impart important spiritual principles for youngsters, but the Critchley stories may bring tears to your eyes as they did mine. I especially prefer books like this because I fully agree with Clarkson's observation about most modern youth literature that "Children's native innocence is no longer considered something to be protected and cultivated, but rather something to be corrected" (and, in fact, violated!).
This publisher takes our families highest good to heart. These stories read to our children and grandchildren help mold character, illicit great questions, and provide a means to build a moral conscience. Can't say enough good about this book and also the book "Just David" The format and printing are comfortable and compelling, too.
Our kids LOVE this book! It's a whole, living book that has several stories in it that our kids (ages 11 and 8) beg us to read each night. We are very happy we purchased this book!
