This is the story of Mr Vane, an orphan
and heir to a large house - in which he has a vision that leads him
through an old mirror into another world. In the trips he makes to this
other world, he explores the mystery of evil. Mr. Vane owns a library
that seems to be haunted by the former librarian, who looks much like a
raven. After finally encountering the mysterious Mr. Raven, Vane learns
that Raven had known his father; indeed, Vane's father had visited the
strange parallel universe from which Raven comes and goes. Vane follows
Raven into the world through the mirror.
Lilith, written by the father of fantasy literature, George MacDonald,
is considered among the darkest of MacDonald's works, and among the most
profound.
George MacDonald is one of the most severely underrated authors of all
time. A contemporary to Lewis Carroll and major influence on C.S. Lewis
and J.R.R. Tolkien, this man’s imagination apparently knew no bounds and
that is incredibly apparent in his masterpiece, Lilith.
