What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

Yates, best known for her biographical novel 'Amos Fortune, Free Man' provides a biographical sketch of Scottish writer and Christian minster Macdonald, in this charming collection of his poetry.

Illustrated with vignette woodcuts by Nora S. Unwin, a children's book illustrator and writer born into the Allen & Unwin family of publishers.

Macdonald was best known for his fantasy novels such as 'Phantastes' and 'The Princess and the Goblin', which greatly influenced later writers such as C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. He also wrote literary criticism and sermons, and was a popular lecturer.

Undated; dated 1938 via Jisc
