Phantastes: The Annotated 150th Anniversary Edition
George MacDonald (1824-1905) was one of the most innovative and original of Victorian writers. His work is noted for its visionary theology, rich symbolism and imaginative power. A great nineteenth-century innovator of modern fantasy, his 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."
