The author, George MacDonald was a great spiritual master of the nineteenth century. He spent several years as a minister in his native Scotland. Dissatisfied with cheap and hasty interpretations of scripture, MacDonald invites us beneath the surface in a heartfelt meditation on all that Christ came to accomplish.
George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)
He was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister. MacDonald was a prolific novelist. He is now known particularly for his poignant fairy tales and fantasy works, and their influence on later authors, such as W. H. Auden, C. S. Lewis, E. Nesbit and Madeleine L'Engle. C. S. Lewis wrote that he regarded MacDonald as his "master": "Picking up a copy of Phantastes one day at a train-station bookstall, I began to read. A few hours later," said Lewis, "I knew that I had crossed a great frontier." G. K. Chesterton cited The Princess and the Goblin as a book that had "made a difference to my whole existence."
