It 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, Mac Donald hauntingly explores the ultimate mystery of evil. Lilith is a fantasy novel by Scottish writer George Mac Donald, first published in 1895. It was reprinted in paperback by Ballantine Books as the fifth volume of the Ballantine Adult Fantasy series in September 1969. Lilith is considered among the darkest of Mac Donald's works, and among the most profound. It is a story concerning the nature of life, death, and salvation. In the story, Mac Donald mentions a cosmic sleep that heals tortured souls, preceding the salvation of all. Mac Donald was a Christian universalist, believing that all will eventually be saved. However, in this story, divine punishment is not taken lightly, and salvation is hard-won.
