Entering into the Realms of Faerie By Franklin Waters I have not written any reviews before but I felt that the works of George MacDonald deserved reviews to bring the works of this forgotten genius back to the light of day. Especially as you can get many of them for free on your kindle. It must first be understood that George MacDonald inspired such authors as J.R.R. Tolkien, W.H. Auden, Madeline L'Engle and E. Nesbit. C.S. Lewis regarded him as his master. "Picking up a copy of Phantastes one day at a train-station bookstall, I began to read. A few hours later," said Lewis, "I knew that I had crossed a great frontier." If you are a fan of these authors then you might want to seriously consider exploring the works of one who inspired them.Before I fully get into this review I want to say that you can download this great book from the Gutenberg Project for free instead of paying the fee that Amazon charges here. Call me cheap but I like the zero price tag which I feel is appropriate for most books whose copyright has expired.This is an awesome piece of work. Reading it I felt as if I had been placed into a trance and transported into the realms of Faerie. The protagonist wanders from place to place and through adventure through adventure in a manner that is seemingly aimless at first glance. Such an aimlessness though to me gives an illustration of how Faerie must feel and in truth such meanderings are rarely without purpose they are just rarely obvious. Upon reflection you will see that there is a purpose to the journey of the protagonist though even he may not realize it until the very end. The realms he wanders through are beautiful and terrible. The entire work stirs ones imagination. In this work more than any other I can see how and where MacDonald influenced Lewis and Tolkien. I would describe this work as dreamlike and magical.The only dislikes I have is that MacDonald often goes on and on for many pages with song and poetry. While I like songs and poetry the ones he uses did not hold my attention or interest. However this may not be the case for everyone. Like all of this authors works there are messages of morals, vices and virtues. As he was a Minister you should not be surprised that there is an underlying message in keeping with his religion. Some may not care for this but for me I find the authors touch with such things light and not unpleasant in the least. His philosophies seem to me to be quite deep and worthy of reflection regardless of your own religious beliefs.Altogether I found this book to not just be a great read but a trip into the Dreamlike realms of Faerie. In the future I shall use this book as my key to journey there again and be inspired by a true master in every since of the word.
