description: In 1857 George MacDonald wrote what he described as "a kind of fairy tale, in the hope that it will pay me better than the more evidently serious work." This was Phantastes, the captivating story of the narrator's adventures in fairyland, where he confronts tree spirits, sojourns to the palace of the fairy queen, and searches for the spirit of the earth. This classic fairy tale has thrilled many generations of readers.
