Date: 18 Dec 89 07:01:26 PST (Monday) Subject: Author Lists: George MacDonald From: jwenn@world.std.com (John Wenn) To: SF-LOVERS%rutgers:EDU Edited: 5-Jul-93 Of the many George MacDonald fantasies, five are consistently in print: the two Curdie books, "At the Back of The North Wind", "Phantastes" & "Lilith". I've only read the two Curdie stories and "Phantastes", even though I own all five plus "Evenor". (Regular readers will recognize that I'm a sucker for a well told juvenile). The Curdie books are good classic fairy tales of a princess, a miner's son in a magical country of goblins and evil monsters. "Phantastes" was tougher going, being a young man's journey of self-discovery through Faerie (I have a mild allergy to allegory). [C] == Story Collection. [CB] == Chapbook (a very short book, or pamphlet). [YA] == The book is for young adults (however you define them). [O] == Omnibus. Includes other books. [= ...] == Also known by this other title.
