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.","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540498251945,"sku":"9780140437379","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/8022\/6891\/files\/imageloader_66cfe52b-0d49-4073-a863-0f03d436141e.jpg?v=1794539247"},{"product_id":"the-golden-key","title":"The Golden Key","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA classic, allegorical fairy tale from one of the forefathers of modern fantasy literature, \u003ci\u003eThe Golden Key\u003c\/i\u003e--first published as part of George MacDonald's story collection \u003ci\u003eDealings with the Fairies\u003c\/i\u003e--is presented in this special edition featuring the author's complete text and lavish illustrations by Maurice Sendak, the Caldecott Medal-winning creator of \u003ci\u003eWhere the Wild Things Are\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe young boy Mossy embarks on a quest through the woods, seeking the keyhole which fits the magical golden key he discovered at the end of the rainbow.
