Synopsis:
Enter what G.K. Chesterton called "the glorious fairyland of George MacDonald"! This delightful collection of classic stories will introduce the reader to the "forgotten father of fantasy fiction." According to C.S. Lewis, there is "hardly any other writer who seems to be closer, or more continuously close, to the Spirit of Christ Himself," and MacDonald deeply influenced the Christian fantasy writers who followed him, including J.R.R. Tolkien and Madeleine L'Engle.
This beautiful collection includes MacDonald's stories "The Golden Key," "The Light Princess," and "Little Daylight," as well as stunning full-color illustrations by Anastasia Nesterova and an introduction for the young reader by children's book author and Editor of Word on Fire Spark Haley Stewart. It is sure to spark the imagination of any reader.
About the Author: George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a Scottish writer and Christian minister. He wrote over fifty books, including Phantastes, Lilith, and The Princess and the Goblin. He and his wife, Louisa Powell, were the parents of eleven children. He is considered the "grandfather" of the Oxford Inklings and had enormous influence on the fantasy genre.
