George MacDonald occupied a major position in the intellectual life of his
Victorian contemporaries. This volume brings together all eleven of his shorter
fairy stories as well as his essay "The Fantastic Imagination". The subjects are
those of traditional fantasy: good and wicked fairies, children embarking on
elaborate quests, and journeys into unsettling dreamworlds. Within this familiar
imaginative landscape, his children's stories were profoundly experimental,
questioning the association of childhood with purity and innocence, and the need
to separate fairy tale wonder from adult scepticism and disbelief.
