About this product

Product Information

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 -- marvelous fairy tales and stories certain to delight readers familiar with MacDonald and those about to meet him for the first time.

Reviews
W. H. Auden "George MacDonald is pre-eminently a mythopoeic writer. . . In his power to project his inner life into images, beings, landscapes which are valid for all, he is one of the most remarkable writers of the nineteenth century." C. S. Lewis "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." Madeleine L'Engle "Surely George MacDonald is the grandfather of us all -- all of us who struggle to come to terms with truth through fantasy."

    A fine rare set

    These stories are brilliant but hard to find. MacDonald was a direct inspiration to J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and many others. The slipcase and illustrations were nice features.

    A much needed parable for today

    I can not say enough about this book. At the very least it will entertain you with a lovely story. But at best it is wisdom wrapped in confection -- on parenting, on growing up (even if you are already a parent), on duty, responsibility, hard work, on using the strength you have no matter how small, and on the the tenderness of a loving Father who disciplines His own. It is perhaps my favourite book ever.
