Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The classic fantasy that influenced C. S. Lewis and Tolkien,
considered one of George MacDonald's most important works, is the
story of the young man, Anodos, and his adventures in fairyland
which ultimately reveal the human condition. "I write, not for
children," wrote George MacDonald, "but for the child-like, whether
they be of five, or fifty, or seventy-five." All-at-once written
with an innocent whimsy and soulful yearning, the heart of Anodos'
journey through fairyland reveals a spiritual quest that requires a
surrender of the self. MacDonald's fantasy novel as well as his
other works have had major influence on many authors who considered
him their mentor:
C. S. Lewis said, "I have never concealed the fact that I
regarded him as my master; indeed I fancy I have never written a
book in which I did not quote from him."
J. R. R. Tolkien called his fairy tales "stories of power and
beauty."
Madeleine L'Engle said, "Surely, George MacDonald is the
grandfather of us all--all of us who struggle to come to terms with
truth through fantasy."
