**"Phantastes:** A Faerie Romance for Men and Women" is a fantasy novel
written by George MacDonald and published in 1858. The story follows Anodos, a
young man who is transported to a dreamlike world in search of his ideal of
female beauty. Along his journey, he encounters various adventures and
temptations, ultimately leading him to question his ideals. The book had a
significant influence on fantasy authors C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. The
plot begins with Anodos discovering a fairy lady in his inherited desk, which
leads him to Fairy Land. He encounters spirits of trees, a marble statue, and
a knight named Sir Percivale. Anodos also faces his shadow, explores a palace,
and travels through different worlds. He becomes a hero, battles giants, and
confronts a cult of worshippers. Eventually, Anodos dies but is revived on
Earth with the memories of his experiences. The novel was first published in
1858 and has since been reprinted and illustrated. It has received mixed
reception, with C.S. Lewis praising it while others criticized its rhymes and
poems.
