C.S. Lewis Called Him Master

Many readers come to George MacDonald's fantasy literature by way of C.S. Lewis who lauded him as my master or G.K. Chesterton who referred to him as one of the three or four greatest men of the 19th century. However MacDonald's stories are so complex so full of twofold meanings symbolical metaphorical and parabolic that many if not most readers find themselves perplexed after first coming upon him. C.S. Lewis Called Him Master attempts to explain the obscurity behind many of the passages in MacDonald's only two fantasies written for adults Lilith and Phantastes while also providing the reader with a brief but adequate examination of George MacDonald's life and work. Also contained therein are several rare photos of the MacDonald family many of them taken by fellow author and family friend Lewis Carroll. C.S. Lewis Called Him Master is an essential biography and study aid for students of George MacDonald's most intense works.
