About the Story
Scottish author George MacDonald (1824-1905) is best known for his fantasy literature and poetry. MacDonald was born on a farm in Scotland, and in 1850, he was appointed pastor of the Trinity Congregational Church, where he preached the concept of God’s universal love. He later taught at the University of London. MacDonald is best known for his fantasy novels The Princess and the Goblin, Phantastes, and At the Back of the North Wind. He wrote, “I write not for children, but for the child-like, whether they be five, or fifty, or seventy-five.” MacDonald served as a mentor to Lewis Carroll and encouraged Carroll to submit Alice in Wonderland for publication. MacDonald also influenced many other notable authors like C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien.
