Catalogue Note
An uncommon work by the author and poet who inspired many later writers of fantasy, including Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and E. Nesbit. Lewis also rated Macdonald's theology extremely highly, editing an anthology of a selection of his works and expressing his great debt to him as a master and teacher.
