Includes an active Table of Contents and an introduction by C. Christopher SmithFollowing in the footsteps of THE CHRISTMAS STORIES OF GEORGE MACDONALD (David C. Cook, 1981), long out-of-print and quite expensive as a used book, MY LITTLE KING aims to compile an affordable collection of Macdonald’s Christmas stories and other writings. All but one of the Christmas stories from the 1981 volume have been included here. Also included are one additional Christmas story, “The Shadows,” as well as Macdonald’s delightful essay on Robert Browning’s poem “Christmas Eve.”
George MacDonald was a Scottish author, poet and Christian Congregational minister. He became a pioneering figure in the field of modern fantasy literature and the mentor of fellow-writer Lewis Carroll. In addition to his fairy tales, MacDonald wrote several works of Christian theology, including several collections of sermons.
