Article writer and professional audio/video/photograph restoration specialist Charles Seper presents C.S. Lewis Called Him Master: Exploring the Life & Adult Fantasy Works of George MacDonald, a thoughtful exploration of the life and works of the fantasy author that C.S. Lewis hailed as "my master", and that G.K. Chesterton thought of as one of the three or four greatest men of the nineteenth century. Chapters especially focus upon MacDonald's only two fantasies written for adults, "Lilith" and "Phantasies", providing context behind the more obscure passages in both works. Rare black-and-white photographs of the MacDonald family (many taken by fellow author and family friend C.S. Lewis) add a personal touch to this extensive discussions of the many symbolic and metaphorical themes appearing in MacDonald's work.
