Author Information

George MacDonald (1824 - 1905) was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian pastor. One of the first writers to create fantasy for adults, he also published three volumes of sermons, entitled Unspoken Sermons. His best known works are Phantastes, ""The Golden Key,"" and At the Back of the North Wind. MacDonald said, ""I write, not for children, but for the child-like, whether they be of five, or fifty, or seventy-five."" Heidi Kimball collected myths and fairy tales for more than 20 years before discovering the works of George MacDonald. An artist, writer, and former teacher, she delights in connecting modern readers with the power and wisdom of MacDonald's short stories. She lives with her family in Colorado.
