..". I know hardly any other writer who seems to be closer, or more continually cloxe, to the Spirit of Christ Himself. Hence his Christ-like union of tenderness and severity. Nowhere else outside the New Testament have I found terror and comfort so intertwined. "I have never concealed the fact that I regarded him as my master; indeed I fancy I never written a book in which I did not quote from him. But it has not seemed to me that those who have received my books kindly take even now sufficient notice of the affiliation. Honesty drives me to emphasize it." -- C. S. Lewis, in the preface to George MacDonald: An Anthology
This definitive one-volume anthology, assembled by renowned MacDonald scholar Rolland Hein, highlights the essential elements of George MacDonald's thought and demonstrates the full range of his creative effort. Opening with a brief biography, The Heart of George MacDonald includes a collection of his finest personal letters, a sampling of abridged sermons, and selections from his fantasies, including the complete texts of his masterpieces The Golden Key and the Princess and Curdie. Brief homilies, samples of his poetry, key essays on faith and the imagination, and a complete bibliography of MacDonald's life and works make this an indispensable resource for MacDonald readers, scholars, and students.

No children's library is complete without this beautiful hardcover edition of the Victorian fairy tale that has enchanted readers for more than a hundred years. George Macdonald's timeless novel tells the magical story of Diamond, the son of a poor coachman, who is swept away by the North Wind--a radiant, maternal spirit with long, flowing hair--and whose life is transformed by a brief glimpse of the beautiful country "at the back of the north wind." Published here alongside Arthur Hughes's handsome illustrations from the original 1871 edition, At the Back of the North Wind combines a Dickensian regard for the working class of mid-19th-century England with the invention of an ethereal landscape. Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, and European-style half-round spines.

With 13 children of his own clamouring for bedtime stories it isn't surprising that author George MacDonald discovered he had a gift for composing fairy tales.
Stories for Girls by Hans Christian AndersenToday, over a century and a quarter after his death, Hans Christian Andersen remains perhaps the world's most beloved author of children's stories. This talented Danish writer's tales have been translated into dozens of languages and have become the theme for major motion pictures. This book contains the best stores in which a young girl or woman plays the key role. Among its fourteen tales are such classics as "The Little Mermaid," "Thumbelina," and "The Little Match Girl." Ever so gently, they teach growing girls the value of courage, imagination, humor, kindness, faith and love. In adapting these stories for "twentieth-first century children," the editor has respected Andersen's wisdom about what children need and what they can understand. The sometimes stilted language of old translations has been replaced by more modern phrasing. But "adapted" doesn't mean the stories have been trivialized. Andersen's little mermaid remains as he created her, a courageous and complex young woman with much more on her mind than simply catching a rich husband. Each story opens with a brief summary of its plot and an age rating. Keeping in mind that story time is often bed time, the longer stories have been broken into sections. For instance, "The Little Mermaid," which might take over an hour to read, is divided into four parts.
George MacDonald occupied a major position in the intellectual life of his Victorian contemporaries. This volume brings together all eleven of his shorter fairy stories as well as his essay "The Fantastic Imagination". The subjects are those of traditional fantasy: good and wicked fairies, children embarking on elaborate quests, and journeys into unsettling dreamworlds. Within this familiar imaginative landscape, his children's stories were profoundly experimental, questioning the association of childhood with purity and innocence, and the need to separate fairy tale wonder from adult scepticism and disbelief.
