The classic fantasy that influenced C. S. Lewis and Tolkien, considered one of George MacDonald's most important works, is the story of the young man, Anodos, and his adventures in fairyland which ultimately reveal the human condition. "I write, not for children," wrote George MacDonald, "but for the child-like, whether they be of five, or 50, or 75." All-at-once written with an innocent whimsy and soulful yearning, the heart of Anodos' journey through fairyland reveals a spiritual quest that requires a surrender of the self. MacDonald's fantasy novel as well as his other works have had major influence on many authors who considered him their mentor:

C. S. Lewis said, I have never concealed the fact that I regarded him as my master; indeed I fancy I have never written a book in which I did not quote from him.

J. R. R. Tolkien called his fairy tales stories of power and beauty.

Madeleine L'Engle said, Surely, George MacDonald is the grandfather of us all all of us who struggle to come to terms with truth through fantasy.

George MacDonald has crafted a fairy story in which all my best beliefs and highest hopes are confirmed. I read this book as a young man and fell instantly in love with the strange and mystifying beauty of MacDonald’s fairy land. Now somewhat older, I am enraptured by his wisdom and insight. The many lessons of Anodos will be a happy guide to me whose “experience runs parallel to those in fairyland.”

The narrator is a perfect delight to listen to, sounding something like a fairy herself in her reading. She had the perfect voice for presenting the many strange and wonderful adventures of Anodos. She has my deepest gratitude for her loving performance of this delightful book.

Beauty, fairy, and life after death
