ISBN10: 1781393680, ISBN13: 9781781393680, [publisher: Benediction Classics] Hardcover nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 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 three fantasy novels for children are available here in one volume. They are so strange and dreamlike that adults often enjoy them as much as the children. MacDonald says 'For my part, I do not write for children, but for the childlike, whether of five, or fifty, or seventy-five'. So whether you are young or just young at heart this is a book that will enthral you with its displays of courage and loyalty, and with the allegories between the fantastic world painted and the spiritual world MacDonald perceives.
