This new series of MacDonald’s stories culminates a forty-year attempt that began in the 1970s to acquaint new generations of readers with the works of the man C.S. Lewis called his spiritual “master.” Throughout that time, it has been my prayerful life’s work to make MacDonald’s writings and ideas accessible and understandable to persons of all backgrounds with a complete range of literary interests. I have tried not only to expand availability of MacDonald’s writings, I have attempted also to shed light on how those writings can most fruitfully be read, interpreted, and placed in the context of MacDonald’s life. Listings of my own original writings, both fiction and non-fiction, are easily accessible from many sources in which, often indirectly, I try to point readers toward MacDonald. Most of the publications that bear specifically on MacDonald, as well as my new and edited editions of his books, are listed below.
