George MacDonald (1824-1905), the great nineteenth-century innovator of modern fantasy, influenced not only C. S. Lewis, but also such literary masters as Charles Williams and J. R. R. Tolkien. Though his longer fairy tales, "Lilith" and "Phantastes" are particularly famous, much of MacDonald's best fantasy writing is found in his shorter stories. In this volume, editor Glenn Sadler has compiled some of MacDonald's finest short works - marvellous fairy tales and stories certain to delight readers familiar with MacDonald and those about to meet him for the first time.
George MacDonald (1824-1905) The great nineteenth-century innovator of modern fantasy, whose works influenced C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams. "I do not write for children," MacDonald once said, "but for the childlike, whether of five, or fifty, or seventy-five."
"What George MacDonald does best is fantasy--fantasy that hovers between the allegorical and the mythopoeic. And this, in my opinion, he does better than any man." - C S Lewis
