George MacDonald 1824-1905 was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister. Though no longer well known, his works particularly his fairy tales and fantasy novels have inspired admiration in such notables as W. H. Auden, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Madeleine LEngle. C. S. Lewis wrote that he regarded MacDonald as his 'master.' Even Mark Twain, who initially detested MacDonald, became friends with him, and there is some evidence that Twain was influenced by MacDonald. His bestknown works are Phantastes 1858 , At the Back of the North Wind 1871 , The Princess and the Goblin 1872 , The Lost Princess 1875 , Thomas Wingfold, Curate 1876 , The Marquis of Lossie 1877 and Sir Gibbie 1879 . He also published some volumes of sermons, the pulpit not having proved an unreservedly successful venue.
