       Table of Contents

      For offering this new edition of my father’s Phantastes, my reasons are three. The first is to rescue the work from an edition illustrated without the author’s sanction, and so unsuitably that all lovers of the book must have experienced some real grief in turning its pages. With the copyright I secured also the whole of that edition and turned it into pulp.

      My second reason is to pay a small tribute to my father by way of personal gratitude for this, his first prose work, which was published nearly fifty years ago. Though unknown to many lovers of his greater writings, none of these has exceeded it in imaginative insight and power of expression. To me it rings with the dominant chord of his life’s purpose and work.

      My third reason is that wider knowledge and love of the book should be made possible. To this end I have been most happy in the help of my father’s old friend, who has illustrated the book. I know of no other living artist who is capable of portraying the spirit of Phantastes; and every reader of this edition will, I believe, feel that the illustrations are a part of the romance, and will gain through them some perception of the brotherhood between George MacDonald and Arthur Hughes.

       Table of Contents

      “Phantastes from ‘their fount’ all shapes deriving,

       In new habiliments can quickly dight.”

       FLETCHER’S Purple Island

      Es lassen sich Erzählungen ohne Zusammenhang, jedoch mit

       Association, wie Träume, denken; Gedichte, die bloss

       wohlklingend und voll schöner Worte sind, aber auch ohne

       allen Sinn und Zusammenhang, höchstens einzelne Strophen

       verständlich, wie Bruchstücke aus den verschiedenartigsten

       Dingen. Diese wahre Poesie kann höchstens einen

       allegorischen Sinn in Grossen, und eine indirecte Wirkung,

       wie Musik, haben. Darum ist die Natur so rein poetisch, wie

       die Stube eines Zauberers, eines Physikers, eine

       Kinderstube, eine Polter- und Vorrathskammer.
