The Golden Key

Featuring 5 brand new illustrations by Rachel Alm, 2 additional stories (Cross Purposes and The Carasoyn) and MacDonald's seminal essay The Fantastic Imagination Regarded by many to be MacDonald's best short fairy tale, The Golden Key tells the story of two children, Mossy and Tangle, who set out to find their true home far beyond the Shadow Lands. With the Key in their possession, and a great longing in their hearts, they encounter a forest-dwelling wise woman, the flying fish at her command, and the Old Men of Earth, Sea, and Fire before they can fulfil their quest and at last come to rest in "the country whence the shadows fall".
