Phantastes

Phantastes: A Faerie Romance for Men and Women follows young Anodos as he is drawn into a dreamlike otherworld in search of an ideal of beauty, the Marble Lady. Inspired by German Romanticism, George MacDonald sends his hero through woods, temptations and bewildering encounters until self-knowledge begins to replace mere yearning. A foundational work of modern fantasy, it later baptised the imagination of C. S. Lewis.
