I found Phantastes by way of Lewis. Actually, it may be more accurate to say that Phantastes and Lilith and The Princess and the Goblin are stories that found a home in my subconscious. MacDonald has taken up residence in my imagination as a most welcome interloper.
Incredible book. The imagery is seared into my memory more than anything (the wooden idol, the forbidden door in the cabin, etc.)
I was in the middle of Midsummer Night's Dream when I read this. Looks like a great book. We need more fairies in our Christian theological vision.
