George Macdonald (1824-1905) was a friend to Lewis Carroll and has been acknowledged by C.S.Lewis, J.R.R.Tolkien, W.H.Auden, Madeleine L'Engle and many others. Many may have read unawares George Macdonald's words in the work of C.S.Lewis, who once wrote, "I have never concealed the fact that I regarded Macdonald as my master, indeed I fancy I have never written a book in which I did not quote from him."
Singled out as "great works" by Lewis were :
"Phantastes", The "Curdie" books, "The Golden Key", "The Wise Woman", and "Lilith".< Less
