Phantastes discussion

C. S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien both raved about the book, Phantastes by George MacDonald as the first ever fantasy novel in the English language, but lots of modern readers find it hard going.

Now you can get a modern retelling of it by Mark Worthing. You can also get a book by Worthing that covers the historical development of the fantasy genre from folk tales and fairy stories right through to modern fantasy. Narnia, Middle Earth and the Kingdom of God.

I recommend both wholeheartedly to anyone who loves fantasy literature. take a look...
