George MacDonald

George MacDonald was a Scottish author, poet, and minister. Renowned for his innovative contributions to modern fantasy literature, MacDonald played a pivotal role in influencing such luminaries as C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, G.K. Chesterton and Oswald Chambers, amongst many others. His profound creativity extended beyond fairy tales, as he also penned numerous thought-provoking works on Christian theology, including several compelling collections of sermons, as well as other fiction works. Oswald Chambers said of MacDonald, “It is a striking indication of the trend and shallowness of the modern reading public that George MacDonald’s books have been so neglected,” and C.S. Lewis is famously quoted as saying of MacDonald’s The Princess and the Goblin, "...[it] made a difference to my whole existence." With his literary giftedness and deep spiritual insights, MacDonald left an indelible mark on the world of literature and faith.
