He was a pioneering figure in the field of fantasy literature and the mentor of fellow writer Lewis Carroll. His writings have been cited as a major literary influence by many notable authors, including W. H. Auden, Lloyd Alexander, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Walter de la Mare, E. Nesbit, and Madeleine L'Engle. C. S. Lewis wrote that he regarded MacDonald as his \"master\" \"Picking up a copy of Phantastes one day at a train-station bookstall, I began to read. A few hours later\", said Lewis, \"I knew that I had crossed a great frontier.\" G. K. Chesterton cited The Princess and the Goblin as a book that had \"made a difference to my whole existence\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElizabeth Yates wrote of Sir Gibbie, \"It moved me the way books did when, as a child, the great gates of literature began to open and first encounters with noble thoughts and utterances were unspeakably thrilling.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven Mark Twain, who initially disliked MacDonald, became friends with him, and there is some evidence that Twain was influenced by him. The Christian author Oswald Chambers wrote in his \"Christian Disciplines\" that \"it is a striking indication of the trend and shallowness of the modern reading public that George MacDonald's books have been so neglected\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to his fairy tales, MacDonald wrote several works on Christian apologetics.
