Phantastes: A Faerie Romance for Men and Women by George MacDonald and edited by Greville MacDonald. The tale starts the day after Anodos' twenty-first birthday. He discovers an ancient fairy lady (whom he learns could be his grandmother) in the desk which he opens with a key that he inherited as a birthright from his late father. After the fairy shows him Fairy Land in a vision, Anodos awakes the next day to find that his room, crafted after natural elements, is taking literal form and transforming into a wood. He discovers that he has been transported to Fairy Land. Anodos then encounters a woman and her daughter in a cottage who warn him about the Ash Tree and the Alder Tree, who seek to destroy him. He is told that the spirits of these trees can leave their tree-hosts and wander throughout Fairy Land. He then explores the world of the fairies, which live in flowers, causing them to glow. The flowers, he is told, die if the fairies leave. He then has a nightmarish encounter with the spirit of the Ash Tree, escapes, and finds rest in the warmth and love of the Beech Tree's spirit.

""The Tree In The Midst: A Contribution To The Study Of Freedom"" is a philosophical book written by Greville Macdonald and published in 1904. The book explores the concept of freedom and its relationship to human consciousness and the natural world. Macdonald argues that freedom is not simply a political or legal concept, but rather a fundamental aspect of human existence that is intimately connected to the natural world. He uses the metaphor of a tree in the midst of a forest to illustrate his ideas, suggesting that just as a tree must be rooted in the earth to grow, human freedom must be rooted in a deep understanding of the natural world. Throughout the book, Macdonald draws on a wide range of philosophical and scientific sources to support his arguments, including the works of Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Charles Darwin. ""The Tree In The Midst"" is a thought-provoking work that challenges readers to reconsider their understanding of freedom and its place in the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
