George Macdonald (1824-1905) was a Scottish minister who is widely recognized as the most influential fantasist of the nineteenth century. His many works include "Phantastes," "Lilith," "The Princess and the Goblin," and "David Elginbrod."This collection assembles six of MacDonald's best works of short fiction, which have inspired the imaginations of readers for over a century. From the the titular story of a neglected child who restores her family through a tragic discovery on Christmas, to the great fairy tale Photogen and Nycteris, about two children raised in isolation by a witch, these stories are marked by rich diversity in content and style. Yet the common current running through all of them is the simple image of Christ, revealing himself quietly in the many and varied expressions of human love.

George MacDonald’s Victorian fairy tales transformed the genre of fantasy. His work also shaped the next generation of both children’s literature and modernism: C.S. Lewis regarded MacDonald as a major influence, and writers as diverse as G.K Chesterton and W.H. Auden acknowledged his significance. His best known story for children, The Princess and the Goblin, tells the story of a lonely child princess and her friend, a brave miner boy, in their battle with subterranean monsters. Along with The Princess and the Goblin, this edition includes four other major fairy stories by MacDonald, as well as a selection of historical documents on the works’ composition and reception, Victorian fairy tales, and MacDonald’s literary criticism.
A collection of fantasy stories by the man who inspired both C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien.
