Lewis states in his introduction to the present volume, "In making this collection I am discharging a debt of justice. I have never concealed the fact that I regard George Macdonald as my master; indeed I fancy I have never written a book in which I did not quote from him... It must be almost thirty years ago that I bought - almost unwillingly... the Everyman edition of Phantastes. A few hours later I knew I had crossed a great frontier."
