John C. Wright reviews George MacDonald's book Phantastes, and then follows it up with another post to analyze it.
The book is best known for being the book that was involved in awakening C.S. Lewis to a new level of spiritual and creative possibilities.
I gave up my copy of the book in the downsizing for the last move, but I remember a lot of it, after multiple readings. It's the kind of book that needs to be read more than once.
It is a remarkably mature work, and it was MacDonald's first novel, published when he was in his early twenties, I believe.
