About This Item
London: Geoffrey Bles: The Centenary Press, 1946. First edition of C.S. Lewis' anthology of extracts from the sermons and writings of George Macdonald. Octavo, original cloth. Near fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket. Jacket design by Mansell. An exceptional example. 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.
