The first fantasy novel for adults!

Having just come of age, Anodos wakes to find himself swept into the fairy realm. Wandering through its sun-dappled woods, he is hunted by his own sinister shadow. Compelled to face malevolent trees, questing knights, and living statues, Anodos will come face-to-face with his own mortality, emerging forever changed…

Rich with lyrical prose and fantastic imagery, Phantastes takes you on a journey like no other, which will stay with you far beyond its end.

Also includes MacDonald's essay "The Imagination: Its Function and Its Culture" and an introduction and discussion questions by Dr. Julian Barr.
