Summary: According to C.S. Lewis, everything he wrote was influenced by the genius of George MacDonald.

Writing a preface and selecting MacDonald's most poignant passages, Lewis introduces us to these extraordinary treasures. Ranging from "Inexorable Love" to "The Torment of Death," these words will instruct and uplift.

Born in Aberdeenshire, he was briefly a clergyman, then a professor of English literature at Bedford and King's College in London.
