Title: Marvelous Book
Product review: This is my first MacDonald book and it is truly a gem. Some of its stories will be memorable for years to come. It was a bit difficult at times to follow given the older writing style (written in 1858). One should not give up but trod on, because "great good is coming." What is probably the most striking thing about this book is the absolutely beautiful use of the English language. Though many credit MacDonald with writing with a Christian bent, I actually felt Phantastes as having a strong pagan/heathen undertone. This, in fact, make more sense given the "age of spiritual discovery" which began in mid/late 19thC.
