La France est une terre des fées. Chaque recoin de notre vieux pays en porte aujourd'hui encore l'empreinte faramineuse. Contes, légendes, folklore, coutumes, proverbes ainsi que d'innombrables toponymes attestent de l'étonnante richesse du patrimoine féerique. Des esprits chagrins ont souvent tenté de nous faire croire que ces Dames mystérieuses n'étaient qu'imaginaires, fariboles de grand-mère ou hallucinations de fada. De telles allégations seraient sans doute effarantes pour bon nombre de nos aïeux qui jusqu'au XIXe siècle vécurent dans le voisinage des êtres féeriques.

George MacDonald is generally remembered as a benevolent preacher who wrote fairy-tales books for children. Closer reading, however, reveals one of the most startlingly inventive, slyly subversive Scottish writers of the nineteenth century. His writings for children emerged from his own long struggle with faith and doubt in the face of multiple bereavements, chronic illness, and the persistent threat of early death. Haunted Childhoods in George MacDonald reconsiders death and divine love in MacDonald’s writings for children. It examines his private letters and public sermons, obscure early writings, and most beloved stories. Setting his work alongside texts by James Hogg and Andrew Lang, it argues MacDonald appropriated traditional Scottish-folk narratives to help child readers apprehend his mystically-inclined understanding of mortality.
