About this book
Fantasy Stories of George Macdonald (4 vols., The Wise Woman, The Golden Key, The Gray Wolf, The Light Princess) by George MacDonald. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780802818584.
GEORGE MACDONALD, the great nineteenth-century innovator of modern fantasy, came to influence not only C.S. Lewis, who once called MacDonald his master, but also J.R.R. Tolkien, who has paid his own tribute to the "power and beauty" of MacDonalds accomplishment. This newly illustrated set of four paperbacks holds the complete fantasy stories (except for several longer stories readily available elsewhere) of George MacDonald. "What he does best is fantasy -- fantasy that hovers between the allegorical and the mythopoeic. And this, in my opinion, he does better than any man." -C.S. Lewis "Surely, George MacDonald is the grandfather of us all -- all of us who struggle to come to terms with truth through fantasy.... I am delighted that these wonderful stories are available to a world that is in dire need of their message." -Madeleine LEngle Includes the following volumes and stories: The Wise Woman and Other Fantasy Stories "The Wise Woman or the Lost Princess: A Double Story" "Little Daylight" "Cross Purposes" "The Castle: A Parable" The Gray Wolf and Other Fantasy Stories "The Gray Wolf" "The Cruel Painter" "The Broken Swords" "The Wow ORivven" "Uncle Cornelius, His Story" "The Butchers Bills" "Birth, Dreaming, Death" The Light Princess and Other Fantasy Stories "The Light Princess" "The Giants Heart" "The CArasoyn" "Port in a Storm" "Papas Story [A Scots Christmas Story]" The Golden Key and Other Fantasy Stories "The Golden Key" "The History of Photogen and Nycteris" "The Shadows" "The Gifts of the Child Christ"
