{"product_id":"books-phantastes-by-george-macdonald","title":"Phantastes","description":"Introduction by C. S. Lewis \u003cbr\u003eIn October 1857, George MacDonald wrote what he described as a kind of fairy tale, in the hope that it will pay me better than the more evidently serious work. This was Phantastes -- one of MacDonald s most important works; a work which so overwhelmed C. S. Lewis that a few hours after he began reading it he knew he had crossed a great frontier. \u003cbr\u003eThe book is about the narrator s (Anodos) dream-like adventures in fairyland, where he confronts tree-spirits and the shadow, sojourns to the palace of the fairy queen, and searches for the spirit of the earth. The tale is vintage MacDonald, conveying a profound sadness and a poignant longing for death.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53672459665681,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781420962314.jpg?v=1781519779","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-phantastes-by-george-macdonald","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
