Phantastes - George MacDonald - Bookniverse

What if your bedroom door opened into a world where trees speak and shadows hunt? On his twenty-first birthday, Anodos is pulled from his ordinary life into the landscape of Fairy Land. Phantastes is a hauntingly beautiful adventure filled with flower-fairies, ancient forests, and a mysterious dark shadow that threatens to steal his soul. To survive, he must learn that true bravery is found in sacrifice, not power. This legendary story explores the line between dreams and reality, challenging you to face your own inner darkness.****************************The visionary mind behind this dream-like masterpiece was George MacDonald, a Scottish author born in 1824. MacDonald worked as a teacher and a clergyman before becoming a writer. He inspired C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien through his belief that stories were a way to reveal truths that logic and science could not explain. Phantastes, published in 1858, was his first major work.
