	Amazon.co.uk: Phantastes: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		This is an enchanting work of high fantasy, lyrical in its composition, spiritual in its nature, and enlightening in its effect on the careful reader.
		The Fairy Land in which Anodos, the narrator, ventures is not the fairy land of youth's innocent dreams; rather, it is an otherworldly plane full of great beauty and terrible ugliness, impish little fairies and horrible, teasing goblins, nurturing spirits and malevolent entities.
		The story of a man and his journey into the faerie land, Phantastes is rather a series of experiences than a continuous plot.

	SPCK Catalogue - Phantastes
		It turns out to be no ordinary day, for the young man is about to embark on a never-to-be-forgotten journey into Fairy Land, which, like Tolkien's Elven realms, is a place of peril and beauty.
		As the narrative unfolds, it conveys a mood and a level of emotional experience that instantly captivated the teenage C. Lewis: 'I did not yet know (and I was long in learning) the name of the new quality, the bright shadow, that rested on the travels of Anodos.
		Phantastes was the first prose work of fiction by George MacDonald (1824-1905), a Scottish novelist, poet and author of Christian fantasy, and one of the most original writers of his time.

	cMusicWeb.com: Phantastes
		It is the story of Anodos who, after the death of his father, finds himself in possession of a desk.
		Anodos is a young man who is compelled to treat this new world with nothing less than the most scientific manner, but try as he might, he cannot remain untouched by the beauty and adventure to be found in this land.
		Phantastes is much like a dream: It follows only the slimmest line of logic, and when you have read a portion you remember only vague pictures and feelings.

	Phantastes: read reviews
		I think that the purpose is to convey some truth whether it is consciously realized by the reader or not.
		Now, specifically dealing with Phantastes, let me begin by saying that it is a very good fairy tale, though previous reviewers are correct in saying that the progress of the story is rather clumsy.
		Admitedly, I preferred The Princess and the Goblin to Phantastes, but they are somehow of a different genre, though I am not sure how since they are both fairie novels.

	Phantastes - A Faerie Romance for Men and Women - Preface (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		For offering this new edition of my father's Phantastes, my reasons are three.
		The first is to rescue the work from an edition illustrated without the author's sanction, and so unsuitably that all lovers of the book must have experienced some real grief in turning its pages.
		I know of no other living artist who is capable of portraying the spirit of Phantastes; and every reader of this edition will, I believe, feel that the illustrations are a part of the romance, and will gain through them some perception of the brotherhood between George MacDonald and Arthur Hughes.

		The great writer is not the one who must explain everything to his reader, but the one who gives life to the reader, and trusts the reader's own life to resonate with what has been given.
		Phantastes does not explain all of its secrets, but the secrets are revealed.
		The great writer is the one who writes about humanity in such a way that humanity cannot help but recognize, even without realizing it.

	The Christian Guide to Fantasy - Once Upon a Timers
		Penned by preacher-turned-novelist George MacDonald in 1858, Phantastes is an unusual work even for fantasy.
		The story rambles about loosely, from an affectionate beech-tree to an old farmer who disbelieved myth, from a “palace of marble and silver, and fountains and moonshine” (MacDonald 74) to a dark chasm that Anodos descends into to rescue his maiden.
		Throughout Phantastes MacDonald keeps the pace and characters uneven, as if slight bewilderment were the intended effect for readers.

		This Victorian Web html text of George MacDonald's Phantastes: A Faerie Romance for Men and Women is based on the machine-readable version of the 1905 text created by Charles E. Keller and is used by permission of University of Virginia Library Electronic Text Center.
		The Victorian Web version of Phantastes, which has been formatted by George P. Landow, indicates page breaks in the following manner: [23/24].
		Since the text does not include the illustrations by Arthur Hughes that first appeared in the 1905 edition, the extent of some pages appears very small, and some page-break indications cover three pages: [311-313].

	Creation in the Writings of George MacDonald.
		Other works by MacDonald in print today include Phantastes (Ballantine Books, 1970), which a Christian creationist friend called "one of the most wholesome pieces of fantasy that I have ever read" in a letter to this writer.
		It must be more than thirty years ago that I bought… the Everyman edition of Phantastes, A few hours later I knew that I had crossed a great frontier… the whole book had about it a Sort of cool, morning innocence, and also, quite unmistakably, a certain quality of Death, good Death.
		What it actually did to me was to convert, even to baptise (that was where the Death came in) my imagination… The quality which had enchanted me… turned out to be the quality of the real universe, the divine, magical, terrifying and ecstatic reality in which we all live.1
