The Gifts of the Child Christ and Other Tales: Collected Tales of George Macdonald, Vol. III

The best thing to do for one’s neighbor, George MacDonald once wrote, is “not to give him things to think about, but to wake things up that are in him; or say, to make him think things for himself.” In his many fairy tales and fantastical stories, MacDonald did just that in his many fairy tales and imaginative fiction. The three volumes of George MacDonald's Collected Tales contain a grand total of twenty stories capable of regaling young and old alike—provided they read with the correct childlike spirit—with narratives of magic and mystery, romance and adventure, grief and joy in their fullest measure.
