"By placing Phantastes within older and wider British and Continental literary traditions and by establishing this text’s affinities with the iconography of artists such as William Blake, the editors enrich our sense of George MacDonald’s influential promotion of a supra-reality best discerned by “poetic and childlike” minds." U. C. Knoepflmacher, Author of Ventures in Childland:Victorians, Fairy Tales, and Femininity
