About the author
Born in Huntly, Aberdeenshire, on December 10, 1824, he became known as a remarkably versatile Victorian writer: a novelist, poet, preacher, and lecturer. After studying in Scotland, he served for a time as a Congregational minister, but writing gradually became the center of his life.
He is best remembered today for imaginative works such as Phantastes, At the Back of the North Wind, The Princess and the Goblin, and Lilith. His fiction often blends fairy tale, spiritual reflection, and adventure, and many readers see him as one of the great forerunners of modern fantasy.
His influence reached far beyond his own lifetime. Lewis Carroll valued his judgment, and later fantasy writers, especially C. S. Lewis, praised his work warmly. George MacDonald died on September 18, 1905, but his stories still feel lively, strange, and deeply humane.
