Summary

"Phantastes: A Faerie Romance for Men and Women" by George MacDonald is a 1800s fantasy where we follow Anodos's mystifying trip into Fairy Land. Anodos starts his adventure the morning after his 21st birthday when spooky things happen after he gets his father’s stuff. When he’s checking out his dad's desk, he finds a secret spot and a tiny fairy, this moment begins his adventure to Fairy Land. Guided by the fairy, Anodos steps into a land filled with charming and unreal things. He comes across magical people and deals with ideas about beauty, lies, and what people want, hinting at a story that’s both deep and intricate.
