Autorenporträt
George MacDonald (10 December 1824-18 September 1905) was a Scottish writer, poet and Christian minister. The son of a farming family in Aberdeenshire, he completed a professor at King's College London. Starting his career as a Congregationalist minister, he resigned after two years when his unconventional views contended irreconcilably with those of his followers. He was a leading figure in the field of modern fantasy literature and the mentor of fellow writer Lewis Carroll. In addition to his fairy tales, MacDonald wrote some works of Christian beliefs, including several collections of sermons. He was not limited to writing theology. He also wrote and is more well-known for, his fantasy work. Books like Phantastes, The Princess and the Goblin and The Golden Key are predecessors to modern fantasy. His stories are Christian theories bound in the clothing of myth and legend. His writings have been quoted as a major literary influence by many notable authors including Lewis Carroll, W.H. Auden, Mark Twain, etc.
