George Mac Donald wrote fairy tales for both children and adults to demonstrate the essential role of the imagination in apprehending spiritual truths. He explained: ‘. . . undefined, yet vivid visions of something beyond, something which eye has not seen nor ear heard, have far more influence than any logical sequences whereby the same things may be demonstrated to the intellect.’ Rolland Hein undertakes to show how Mac Donald’s tales contain such visions, helping readers to experience for themselves glimpses of ‘something beyond’ and catch exciting insights into eternal truths.
