GEORGE MACDONALD AND
G.K. CHESTERTON

George MacDonald's fiction inspired countless writers of fantasy, including C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. Some of MacDonald's fantastic writings (as opposed to his works of "realism") are fantasies pure and simple, while others narrate everyday events that lead to recognition of the supernatural (if not actual encounters). Then, of course, there are his fairy tales, which are told to children but offer much for adults.

This first volume includes MacDonald's two essays on imagination, and three novels: The Portent, At the Back of the North Wind, and The Flight of the Shadow.

This second volume includes Phantastes, The Carasoyn, The Wise Woman, and Lilith.
