Re-imagining George MacDonald's "The Light Princess"

The blog Subverting Laughter: Re-imagining George Macdonald's Victorian Fairy Tale "The Light Princess" is an interesting project combinging new images and short, thoughtful essays on each chapter.  It's coordinated by Christine Chettle, a PhD student at the University of Leeds, and Christi Williams, an artist.

I was delighted to be contacted by Christine to write an essay about one of the chapters.  My blog post on Chapter 11, "Hiss!", has just been posted. 

This is a great multimedia project on the web.  You can hear the chapter being read aloud, accompanied by illustrations.  Then you can read thoughts about that chapter by MacDonald scholars.  Other critics contributing include George Bodmer and Rod McGillis.
