Publisher's Synopsis
"Most myths were made in prehistoric times, and, I suppose, not consciously made by individuals at all. But every now and then there occurs in the modern world a genius…who can make such a story. MacDonald is the greatest genius of this kind whom I know." -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." -Madeleine L'Engle
"The magical, the fairy story…may be a vehicle of mystery. This is what George MacDonald attempted, achieving stories of power and beauty." -J.R.R. Tolkien
