Despite his relatively short career in ministry, his works profoundly influenced a later generation of Christian thinkers, including G. K. Chesterton and C. S.

Den britiske forfatter George MacDonald Fraser (1925-2008) er bedst kendt for sin serie af historiske romaner om den kujonagtige levemand og antihelt Harry Flashman, der gør tvivlsom og ufortjent karriere i den britiske hær i 1800-tallet.

Det er hævet over enhver tvivl, at Harry Flashman var en sjuft, en skamløs skørtejæger, en samvittighedsløs slyngel og en kujon af værste skuffe. Det er en beklagelig kendsgerning, at han ikke desto mindre blev modtaget af Hendes Majestæt dronning Victoria og hertugen af Wellington og fejret som imperiets helt. I sine memoirer fra felttoget i Afghanistan afslører han selv, hvordan det egentlig gik til.

Alligevel finder han tid til at få andre i fedtefadet, mens han slipper uskadt væk, og får fanget op til flere af de skørter, han er så ferm til at jage.

The classic fantasy that influenced C. S. Lewis and Tolkien, considered one of George MacDonald's most important works, is the story of the young man, Anodos, and his adventures in fairyland which ultimately reveal the human condition.

All-at-once written with an innocent whimsy and soulful yearning, the heart of Anodos' journey through fairyland reveals a spiritual quest that requires a surrender of the self.
