MacDonald, George – Phantastes

Posted on January 15, 2023January 2, 2023 By Wlue 777

A Faerie Romance for Men and Women by George MacDonald.

Excerpt from Review of George MacDonald’s Phantastes by Rachel Bomberger :




Lewis had a high regard for this forefather of modern fantasy and, what’s more, he credited one of MacDonald’s books, Phantastes, as a major factor in his eventual religious conversion. In Lewis’s 1946 preface to George MacDonald: An Anthology, he wrote:

It must be more than thirty years ago that I bought—almost unwillingly, for I had looked at the volume on that bookstall and rejected it on a dozen previous occasions—the Everyman edition of Phantastes. A few hours later I knew that I had crossed a great frontier. . . . The whole book had about it a sort of cool, morning innocence, and also, quite unmistakably, a certain quality of Death, good Death. What it actually did to me was to convert, even to baptize (that was where the death came in) my imagination. It did nothing to my intellect nor (at that time) to my conscience. Their turn came far later and with the help of many other books and men. But when the process was complete—by which, of course, I mean “when it had really begun”—I found that I was still with MacDonald and that he had accompanied me all the way and that I was now at last ready to hear from him much that he could not have told me at that first meeting.

Note that I am reworking the entire website. Sorry for the inconvenience. As I find modules that are not in the zips, I will add them to the download page instead of adding them to the zip. So please check back from time to time even though you have already downloaded a particular zip pack because there may be some additions at the bottom of the page. --D.C.

Oldies but Goodies
I am going to go back into my archives and renew some old posts (single modules) that will expire after a few days. Putting all 2000 that were live (4000 actually counting the ones waiting to be posted also) that are in the archives as live seems to bring the site down. So I will see how this works. Take note that these posts will be live for 7 days and then will be deleted, so if you visit this site regularly, you will see them, but get them while they are up. (And remember to visit the site various times during each week.)

I am working for you, so please donate something (any amount) for my labors: Paypal paypal.com/paypalme/davidcoxmex/
