George MacDonald was one of the most respected authors of his generation in 19th-century Scotland. He wrote over fifty books in his lifetime, and his work has inspired authors ever since, including J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and Madeleine L Engle. Many of his books are considered to be classics of children's literature. Ruth Sanderson has been a professional illustrator since 1975, with over eighty published children's books. She is a long-time member of the Society of Children s Book Writers and Illustrators, and teaches classes on writing and illustrating children's literature at Hollins University's summer graduate program.
The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Richly described and illustrated. . . . Sanderson's dramatic black
and white scratchboard illustrations bring grace and depth to this
old story." Booklist
"Sanderson's black-and-white illustrations play on the story's
motif of light and darkness as she skillfully depicts the
children's journey through fairyland. . . . Beautifully presented."
