George MacDonald, described by W.H. Auden as "one of the most remarkable writers of the 19th century", was valued in his own time as an original thinker and spiritual guide. Of all his writing, it is the fairy tales that have retained their fascination, and this collection includes all 11 stories.

Though most well-known for his fairy tales and poetry, George MacDonald was among religious thinkers of his century.
