Celebrating the Works of George MacDonald
George MacDonald inspired the imaginative visions of C. S. Lewis, G. K. Chesterton, J. R. R. Tolkien, and so many others. He presents the reader with an enchanted world that is richer than the flattened world of materialism that defines reality for so many. Through this volume, we hope to invite the reader into the world of fantasy en route to discovering a true reality.

Between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries the majority of the English common lands were enclosed, by decree and by force, depriving communities of their independence and self-sufficiency.

Extrait : "Il naquit, le 4 décembre 1795, à Ecclefechan, dans le Dumfries, en Ecosse. Mais il était de race anglaise et de race noble : les Carlyle, venus dans l'Annandale avec les Bruce, sous le roi David II, avaient été Lords. Race forte, rude, indomptable, avec d'étranges sautes d'humeur et d'inquiétantes bizarreries de caractère. Son grand-père et son père répandaient autour d'eux crainte et respect."
