Genre Fiction for Young People

George MacDonald's most famous fairy tale, first published in 1895, transports readers through a looking glass into a haunting world filled with lessons about the ultimate mystery of evil.

Lilith
By George MacDonald

Lilith is the story of Mr. Vane, an orphan and heir to a large house - a house in which he has a vision that leads him through a large old mirror into another world. In chronicling the five trips Mr. Vane makes to this other world, MacDonald hauntingly explores the ultimate mystery of evil.

"Surely George MacDonald is the grandfather of us all - all of us who struggle to come to terms with truth through fantasy." - Madeleine L'Engle
