The groundbreaking Victorian-era fantasy from the Scottish literary master. Without question one of the cornerstones of the genre.-Black Gate George MacDonald's first major fiction work, in MacDonald's words a sort of fairy tale for grown people, Phantastes was published in 1858. This unusual fantasy, subtitled a faerie romance, is one of MacDonald's most mysterious and esoteric titles. The book's narrator, Anodos, enters Fairy Land through a mysterious old wooden secretary. From that beginning, he embarks on a dream-like series of encounters that follow the form of an epic quest, though the purpose and destination of his journey remain obscure and are never fully clarified. Sales of Phantastes proved a disappointment, until young atheist C.S. Lewis discovered it in 1916. Within a few hours he said he knew he had crossed a great frontier. MacDonald's unusual fantasy set Lewis on the road toward his eventual conversion to Christianity, and forever after he referred to MacDonald as his master. In spite of its poor initial reception among Victorian readers, Lewis's affection for it established Phantastes as one of MacDonald's most enduring and studied works in literary and academic circles. This new edition is one of six fantasy titles in The Cullen Collection that has not been edited or updated in any way and is reproduced exactly in its original text. It can be exquisitely beautiful . . . from time to time I was caught by MacDonald's enchantment, by his underlying concept that we can build a land of Faerie in our minds, and travel there.-Tor.com
