I didn't get this done in time for the @TheRabbitRoom read-through of Phantastes last year, but here he is anyway. Scottish preacher and novelist George MacDonald, polymer clay, 7.5" tall.

A #cslewis favourite by #georgemacdonald, just re issued today! Aside from the bonus material, this 1895 edition of #thewisewoman may be the very one read by Lewis & #Tolkien back in the day!

@QuentinLatimer @nordove A common error!

[George MacDonald Soc @GMacDonaldSoc]

MacDonald is named in an 1885 Pall Mall Gazette survey seeking its readers’ opinions on which author should wear the crown of greatest living novelist.

[Ben Griffin @history_griffin]

Shocks aplenty in the greatest living novelist category.

With the re release of #RobertFalconer, my entire series of #GeorgeMacDonald translations has now been re spined! These are the same unabridged works that #CSLewis, #GKChesterton, #OswaldChambers etc. read, only with help to understand the dialogue 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 https://t.co/3xusNOie95

Join our very own Kirstin Jeffrey Johnson for a guided read-through of one of MacDonald’s best loved novels, Phantastes! Starting May 24th! #georgemacdonald #fantasybooks #victorianliterature

[The Rabbit Room @TheRabbitRoom]

Starting May 24th, George MacDonald scholar and lecturer Kirstin Jeffery Johnson will lead a read-through and discussion of Phantastes, providing context and guidance for navigating an often bewildering but profoundly moving and influential fantasy novel: https://t.co/rLdyzPtN5Q

Just got this guy in the post! Really pleased with the look and feel of it. Less intimidating size (6x9 inches) than my unabridged #georgemacdonald translations, and the print is very easy on the eye. "Let the MacDonald Renaissance begin!" https://t.co/1oPtwRQOf4

[David John Jack @DavidJack1824]

While my main focus remains the translation of GM's unabridged novels, I've just had an abridgement of one of his Scottish classics published-endorsed by @AngelinaStanfo1 and @AndrewPeterson. A wonderful tale about a father & son's unbreakable bond. https://t.co/1oPtwRQOf4

Excited that an edited collection I contributed to is a finalist in the 2020 Mythopoeic Awards! Big congrats to the editors & fellow contributors! @GMacDonaldSoc @mythsoc

In addition to his many wonderful fantasy novels & literary fairy tales, we thank George MacDonald & his family who read and encouraged Lewis Carroll to revise and expand "Alice's Adventures Under Ground," which would become "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."

Happy Birthday to George MacDonald, born on this day in Huntly, Aberdeenshire, 1824. #georgemacdonald @GMacDonaldSoc @scotlit @ScottishWriters @ScottishHistSoc @Dundee_Scots @UofGFantasy

[Dr Kirstin Mills @KirstinMills]

So sad to hear of Professor Stephen Prickett’s passing. An eminent Victorian fantasy scholar, he was also wonderfully kind & particularly supportive of younger scholars’ work. He examined my PhD thesis & continued to encourage my work long after. He will be missed. @GMacDonaldSoc

Stephen Prickett was one of the most remarkable teachers I’ve had the benefit of learning from. He could tie disparate people and tidbits together in dazzling, unexpected ways. I left class every day with much to chew on. https://t.co/XMXU7DI2fC

[Jessica Hooten Wilson @HootenWilson]

Stephen Prickett was such a mentor to me at Baylor. On a walk along the Canterbury trail, I was lamenting the Academy: I wish they would do this or that. He responded, “You don’t have to wish anything. You do it.” Thank you, Stephen. https://t.co/LRrMDqADfN

[Prof Rob Maslen @DrMaslen]

A tribute to my former colleague, Stephen Prickett, author of the seminal book on Victorian Fantasy.
