Step into what G.K. Chesterton called “the glorious fairyland of George MacDonald” — a world where enchantment and eternal truth intertwine. This award-winning collection gathers three of MacDonald’s most beloved fairy tales (The Golden Key, The Light Princess, and Little Daylight) in a single heirloom-quality hardcover edition. Long celebrated as the “forgotten father of fantasy fiction,” MacDonald inspired C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Madeleine L’Engle, and his stories carry a spiritual depth that speaks as powerfully to children today as they did a century ago. Brought to life with stunning full-color illustrations by Anastasia Nesterova and introduced by Haley Stewart, Editor of Word on Fire Votive, this volume is a treasure for any family bookshelf.
