Episode: Phantastes | Part 3
Description: Welcome back to R&W’s three-part series on George MacDonald’s fantasy novel, Phantastes. In this episode Shari and Rhea discuss the ending of the book, the things they loved, and the things they didn’t. They discuss whether or not the continual semi-confusing dreamlike quality of the story was intentional on MacDonald’s part, or a storytelling hiccup. They talk about the motifs, the symbols, and the ultimate theme of love running through. And they talk about how reading Phantastes has rekindled their love for Narnia and deep desire to read the series again.R&W’s next...
