George MacDonald

Author Profile

George MacDonald was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister born on December 10, 1824, in Huntly, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. He was the eldest son of a farmer and grew up in a strict Calvinist household. MacDonald attended the University of Aberdeen, where he studied classics, theology, and English literature.
After completing his studies, MacDonald worked as a minister in several churches in Scotland, but his unorthodox views on theology led to his dismissal from the church. He then turned to writing as a full-time career and published his first book, "Within and Without," in 1855.
MacDonald's writing was heavily influenced by his Christian faith and his belief in the power of imagination. His works often explored themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the search for meaning in life. Some of his most famous works include "Phantastes," "The Princess and the Goblin," "At the Back of the North Wind," and "Lilith."
