A fairy tale for adults, it is the captivating story of a wealthy young man who takes an unplanned journey into a fantastic nether world. Led by an enchanting sprite (discovered inside an old desk once owned by his deceased father), he meets a diverse cast of characters, among them a fairy queen, as well as sinister figures who threaten his spiritual well-being. <br>Outstanding for its imaginative characters, vivid action, and subtle yet powerful moral messages, this book, first published 100 years ago, earned MacDonald recognition as The Grandfather of Modern Fantasy, and a tribute from W. H. Auden as one of the most remarkable writers of the 19th century. Of this work, C. S. Lewis wrote, It will baptize your imagination.<br>Enhanced with 14 illustrations by Pre-Raphaelite artist Arthur Hughes, <i>Phantastes</i> offers readers an enlightening experience and a memorable literary journey.
