Product Description
George MacDonald (1824-1905), the great nineteenth-century innovator of modern fantasy, influenced not only C. S. Lewis but also such literary masters as Charles Williams and J. R. Tolkien. Though his longer fairy tales Lilith and Phantastes are particularly famous, much of MacDonalds best fantasy writing is found in his shorter stories. In this volume editor Glenn Sadler has compiled some of MacDonalds finest short works-marvelous fairy tales and sotries certain to delight readers familiar with MacDonald and those about to meet him for the first time. Featured stories: The Golden Key, The History of Photogen and Nycteris, The Shadows, and The Gifts of the Child Christ

These stories are outstanding for anyone who loves fantasy tales about kings, queens, magic, nobility, and romance. I loved these stories and can't wait to read more from Goerge MacDonald.

This review is from: The Golden Key and Other Stories (Paperback)
The short story, The Gift of the Child Christ was so moving and beautiful that it should be a Christmas time classic.

Wonderful and Warm-hearted Fantasy, Aug 25 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Golden Key and Other Stories (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book, containing four beautiful and soul-touching stories. But now it's out of print! I had lent the book to a friend, who mislaid it -- but thankfully he found it, and returned it to me today! The stories are classic and universal, and I am deeply disappointed with Eerdmans for discontinuing this title.
