George Macdonald The Complete Children’s Fairy Tales

3 Novels and 7 Novellas/Short Stories in One Volume

This almost 600 page volume contains all of the fairy tales of George Macdonald written especially for children and young people. Each of these stories is presented in its complete and unabridged form.

Chesterton, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and countless others. Macdonald observed of his own writing that: “I write, not for children, but for the child-like, whether they be of five, or fifty, or seventy-five.”
