George MacDonald is famous for his poignant fairy tales and fantasy
novels. He was a great inspiration to many writers of his time
including C. S. Lewis, who wrote "Picking up a copy of Phantastes
one day at a train-station bookstall, I began to read. A few hours
later, I knew that I had crossed a great frontier." G. K.
Chesterton said that The Princess and the Goblin was a book that
had "made a difference to my whole existence." His four best known
fantasy novels for adults, are available here in one volume. The
Light Princess is cursed by a witch and loses her "gravity"
becoming silly, having neither physical nor spiritual weight. This
is an engaging story that teaches us about the beauty of
sacrificial love. In Cross Purposes the fairy Peaseblossom and the
goblin Toadstool set off to lure a girl and a boy to Fairyland
because the Queen is bored - her subjects are too well-behaved to
be amusing. In Phantastes a young man finds himself on a long
journey through a fantasy land on a quest that must end with the
ultimate joyful surrender of the self. In Lilith the hero follows
an old man through a mirror and nothing in his life is ever the
same again.
