George MacDonald was raised in a Calvinist atmosphere, but had many problems with their belief system. After preaching against predestination, his job as a minister prove fruitless, and he went on to writing. He wrote fantasies, but claimed his works were not solely for children. Although he is rarely heard of today, he inspired many well-known authors - including C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkein, and Madeleine L'Engle. He died in 1905, having led a successful career and becoming the friend and acquaintance of many great writers of the time.
