About the Author

George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister who was a pioneering figure in the field of fantasy literature. A mentor to Lewis Carroll and a major influence on writers from C. S. Lewis to J. R. R. Tolkien, MacDonald’s best-known books are Phantastes, The Princess and the Goblin, At the Back of the North Wind, and Lilith, which are all fantasy novels.

Editorial Reviews

This Victorian fantasy tells of a mysterious, wise woman who devises a series of trials for little Princess Rosamond, enabling her to grow from a spoiled brat into a good child. The spacious format and many excellent cross-hatched color-pencil drawings make this a very handsome edition of the novel, but the story's appeal is probably limited to readers already devoted to MacDonald's fantasies. Recommended for larger fiction collections.
