About the author
George MacDonald was a nineteenth-century Scottish writer and theologian who explored faith, morality, and the inner life through fantasy and fairy tales. His works use symbolism and imagination to examine good and evil, spiritual growth, and redemption in ways that speak to both children and adults. Through novels such as Phantastes and Lilith, he laid important foundations for modern fantasy literature and strongly influenced writers like C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. MacDonald’s legacy lies in his belief that storytelling can awaken moral insight and guide readers toward deeper self-understanding and compassion.
