XX (From the dust jacket flaps) George MacDonald and Fiona Macleod are two superb writers of Celtic myth and fantasy, whose works today are virtually unobtainable. This book, selected and introduced by Elizabeth Sutherland, contains stories and extracts from their longer writings which give the flavour and reflect the principal themes of these two extraordinary and gifted writers. Both died in 1905, both were deeply attracted by Celtic myth — but apart from that they were very different. George MacDonald was born in 1824 and lived a life of great poverty as an occasional preacher and lecturer, coping with bouts of tuberculosis. He is best known for his children's books, such as The Back of the North Wind and The Princess and Curdie, and for his theological meditations. But he was admired during his lifetime as a poet and writer by such distinguished figures as Ruskin, Lewis Carroll, Emerson and Mark Twain; and more recently by Chesterton, C.S. Lewis and Tolkien. Fiona Macleod is not a woman but a man — William Sharp, born in 1855. A Gaelic-speaking nurse and a Celtic fisherman were his main childhood influences, but the need to earn a living kept the psychic and visionary side of his nature in the background for many years. In 1893 'Fiona Macleod' emerged with a surge of creative mystical writing, but the secret of her identity was a closely guarded secret during Sharp's lifetime. She was much admired by W.B. Yeats among others. Elizabeth Sutherland, who provides the introductory biography that precedes the selection of each author's work, is author of many novels and, most recently, of a study of the phenomenon of Highland second sight, Ravens and Black Rain. Elizabeth Sutherland is the author of five novels: Lent Term, The Seer of Kintail, Hannah Hereafter, The Eye of God, and The Weeping Tree. She has also edited and introduced The Prophecies of the Brahan Seer by Alexander Mackenzie.
