Fantasy
As Colin Manlove wrote in the preface to Scotland’s Forgotten Treasure, George MacDonald was “one of the prime exponents of Scottish fantasy, a genre which… has its roots in folk culture and in a landscape still imaginatively populated by legendary monsters, bewildering fairies and devils stemming from a largely unassimilated landscape of forgotten bens, lochs and moors…they are among the most profound works of fantasy and mystical literature in English.”
MacDonald’s eight longer works of fantasy fiction are listed below. We encourage you to read “The Fantastic Imagination,” by George MacDonald: Text from A Dish of Orts and Audio recording by Daniel Koehn.
