George MacDonald: Images of His World is an enticing introduction
to the life and art of the man C. S. Lewis called "my master." Of
MacDonald, Lewis wrote, "I dare not say that he is never in error;
but to speak plainly I know hardly any other writer who seems to me
closer or more continually close, to the spirit of Christ Himself."
Quotations from MacDonald's books and letters complement photographs
of places he lived in and wrote about--from northern Scotland to the
Italian Riviera, from his birthplace to his gravesite. Here, his life
story is told in its visually stunning contexts, reflecting his deep
appreciation for the beauty of his Creator's world and offering readers--old
and new--a fuller understanding of his ideas and values.

- Photography by Larry E. Fink--over 130 photographs of MacDonald sites in Scotland, England, Belgium, Switzerland, and Italy--accompanied by extensive quotations from his fiction, poetry, and letters
