George MacDonald occupied a major position in the intellectual life of his Victorian contemporaries. This volume brings together all eleven of his shorter fairy stories as well as his essay "The Fantastic Imagination". The subjects are those of traditional fantasy: good and wicked fairies, children embarking on elaborate quests, and journeys into unsettling dreamworlds. Within this familiar imaginative landscape, his children's stories were profoundly experimental, questioning the association of childhood with purity and innocence, and the need to separate fairy tale wonder from adult scepticism and disbelief.

A delightful collection of stories and fables about the magical world of fairies, goblins, and other mystical creatures, Dealings with the Fairies showcases the boundless imagination and playful spirit of one of the great Victorian writers. With their whimsical characters, charming language, and profound insights into the nature of life and beauty, these stories are a true delight for readers of all ages.
