Reviews:
Finally, an almost lyrical treatment of child death which avoids sombreness without descending into such banality. At the Back of the North Wind was also written for children by an active churchman touched by current controversies. Like Dickens he gets behind the pale face on the pillow: the young hero's fantastic excursions are also, we gradually realize, the wanderings of a sick child's mind; Diamond's hazy presentiments, hopes and fears are externalized with haunting delicacy. The choice of imagery in which they are externalized is novel, not only in detail but in general conception, and the effort to make sense out of mortal suffering without either minimizing or escaping from it is perhaps as successful as it could be.

The Princess and the Goblin

Anne Thaxter Eaton writes in ‘’A Critical History of Children's Literature’’ that ‘’The Princess and the Goblin’’ and its sequel “quietly suggest in every incident ideas of courage and honor. [1] Jeffrey Holdaway writing in New Zealand Art Monthly said that both books start out as “normal fairytales but slowly become stranger”, and that they contain layers of symbolism similar to that of Lewis Carroll’s work.[2]
