| A Book of Strife in the Form of THE DIARY OF AN OLD SOUL By George MacDonald |
One of the most prolific and celebrated Scottish fantasy writers and novelists of the Victorian era -- George MacDonald (1824 - 1905) was an internationally renowned speaker and author of faerie stories for adults and children. He counted Mark Twain, Lewis Caroll, Ralph Waldo Emerson andJohn Greenleaf Whittier among his friends and admirers. Among his writings are Phantastes, At the Back of the North Wind, Sir Gibbie, The Princess and the Goblin, Lilith, and The Light Princess. He has been a major influence on writers of the 20th century, including G. K. Chesterton, W. H. Auden, Madeleine L'Engle and more. He directly influenced C. S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia, which includes The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, and J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. THE DIARY OF AN OLD SOUL is a series of beautifully written daily devotionals by George MacDonald. In THE DIARY OF AN OLD SOUL MacDonald poetically reflects on the sweet and bitter, the happy and sad as he faces the challenges of living the true Christian life. This volume follows the original design of the 1880 edition. Each page of poetry is offset with an illustrated page for the recording of the reader’s own thoughts throughout the year in the good company of George MacDonald. For readers familiar with MacDonald's fantasies, this is an opportunity to see the depths of his Christian thought as he lovingly explores his relationship to God and life as a Christian through elegant Victorian poetry.
