Lilith, Paperback/George MacDonald

Introduction by C. S. Lewis -Lilith is equal if not superior to the best of Poe, - wrote W. H. Auden in his introduction to the 1954 reprint of George MacDonald's Lilith , which was first published in 1895. It is the story of Mr. Vane, an orphan and heir to a large house -- a house in which he has a vision that leads him through a large old mirror into another world. In chronicling the five trips Mr. Vane makes to this other world, MacDonald hauntingly explores the ultimate mystery of evil.
