{"product_id":"phantastes-9781717175298","title":"Phantastes","description":"One of the first great works of nineteenth-century fantasy fiction, Phantastes inspired many of the great Christian and fantasy authors of the twentieth century. A fairy tale for adults, it is the captivating story of a wealthy young man who takes an unplanned journey into a fantastic nether world. Led by an enchanting sprite (discovered inside an old desk once owned by his deceased father), he meets a diverse cast of characters, among them a fairy queen, as well as sinister figures who threaten his spiritual well-being. Outstanding for its imaginative characters, vivid action, and subtle yet powerful moral messages, this book, first published 100 years ago, earned MacDonald recognition as \"The Grandfather of Modern Fantasy,\" and a tribute from W. H. Auden as \"one of the most remarkable writers of the 19th century.\" Of this work, C. S. Lewis wrote, \"It will baptize your imagination.\"\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50432969310482,"sku":"9781717175298","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_74683717-c08b-48e1-a521-3c62bd63d042.jpg?v=1748690161","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/phantastes-9781717175298","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
