George MacDonald (1824 - 1905) was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister. He was a pioneering figure in the field of fantasy literature and the mentor of fellow writer Lewis Carroll. His writings have been cited as a major literary influence by many notable authors including W. H. Auden, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Walter de la Mare, E. Nesbit and Madeleine L'Engle. G. K. Chesterton cited The Princess and the Goblin as a book that had "made a difference to my whole existence". Table of Contents: Novels The Princess and the Goblin The Princess and Curdie Phantastes At the Back of the North Wind The Lost Princess: A Double Story The Day Boy and the Night Girl The Flight of the Shadow Lilith: A Romance Short stories Adela Cathcart CHRISTMAS EVE CHURCH THE CHRISTMAS DINNER THE NEW DOCTOR THE LIGHT PRINCESS THE BELL THE SCHOOLMASTER'S STORY SONG THE CURATE AND HIS WIFE THE SHADOWS THE EVENING AT THE CURATE'S PERCY AND HIS MOTHER THE BROKEN SWORDS MY UNCLE PETER THE GIANT'S HEART A CHILD'S HOLIDAY INTERRUPTION PERCY THE CRUEL PAINTER THE CASTLE WHAT NEXT?

And MacDonald's Phantastes alone is worth the price (It was Phantastes that started C.S. Lewis on the road back from atheism to the Christianity of his youth). MacDonald influence not only C.S. Lewis but J. R. R. Tolkien (Lord of the Ring), Charles Williams and many others. You can download MacDonald's works from the internet for free, of course, from many sites, but the format is not so good in some (poor scanning leaves typos). And I like having the Kindle WhisperSync tech, whether on my Kindle or my Smartphone (semi-Smartphone, I should clarify--or semi-Smart user), so when I switch between reading on my phone and Kindle I can easily find my place--all for 99 cents. I like the illustrations as well. We're so used to getting everything online "free" that we now balk at paying even 99 cents, but two decades ago I'd have never imagined having all of his writings in a tiny device on which I can keep notes, bookmarks, etc. We take too much for granted. Spend the 99 cents; it's a bargain. Review: Famous Avid Readers of George MacDonald - Just to have all of the works of George MacDonald together in one collection made me a very happy camper. I was introduced to the religious writings of MacDonald through C. S. Lewis. Lewis considered MacDonald "his master" and made frequent reference to him in his own books. Years ago I had read MacDonald's Phantastes simply because Lewis thought so highly of it. It wasn't until much later that I discovered that MacDonald was a universalist, but by then I had learned enough about MacDonald to want to know why. So I began reading his "Unspoken Sermons" and "Hope of the Gospel". I found them to be very persuasive. I also found that Lewis was not the only person of note that had been an avid reader of MacDonald. Thomas Talbott was as well. Talbott had written a chapter in the book "All Shall Be Well" titled "The Just Mercy of God - Universal Salvation in George MacDonald". From Talbott I learned that if you want to know more about MacDonald's views on universalism, you have to read his works of fiction. His views often found their way into his stories. That brings me back to where I started and the reason why I am such a happy camper to at last have MacDonald's complete collection. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #180,278 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #63 in Children’s Fairy Tales, Folk Tales & Myths Comics & Graphic Novels #66 in Children’s Fantasy Comics & Graphic Novels #157 in Children's Fairy Tales, Folklore, Legends & Mythology Comics & Graphic Novels | ## Images ![George MacDonald: The Complete Fantasy Collection - 8 Novels & 30+ Short Stories and Fairy Tales (Illustrated): Scottish Christian fantasy: 8 novels & 30+ tales - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91wNPu8SApL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great format, interactive contents, bargain price--and Classic MacDonald. *by H***O on February 27, 2017* Beautifully formatted with interactive Table of Contents.

I was introduced to the religious writings of MacDonald through C. S. Lewis. Lewis considered MacDonald "his master" and made frequent reference to him in his own books. Years ago I had read MacDonald's Phantastes simply because Lewis thought so highly of it. It wasn't until much later that I discovered that MacDonald was a universalist, but by then I had learned enough about MacDonald to want to know why.

That brings me back to where I started and the reason why I am such a happy camper to at last have MacDonald's complete collection. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Slow but pretty writing *by J***T on June 28, 2016* MacDonald is cited by C.S. Lewis as one of his inspirations, and I can see how Lewis' writing reflects MacDonald's in some ways. Lewis, I must say, is a far superior writer to MacDonald. Still, the "fairy tales" in this collection are quite charming, and the three tales of a country vicar and his family are good reads. My only complaint about reading a collection this massive on my ebook is that it's difficult to remember which of the stories are tied together (they are not together in the book). In short, MacDonald is a quiet writer, able to say in 10,000 words what Lewis can say in 1,000, but it is nice, reflective reading for a summer afternoon. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/121374682-george-macdonald-the-complete-fantasy-collection-8-novels-and-30](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/121374682-george-macdonald-the-complete-fantasy-collection-8-novels-and-30) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
