Wisely, Chrysanthemum's concerned and loving parents try not to interfere, but what can't be put right by them is dealt with by lucky chance. That wouldn't be so bad if the others-like Victoria-hadn't made a mean-spirited game of tormenting her, sending her home in tears to be comforted with cuddles and Parcheesi. She is proud of her musical name until kindergarten, when she finds herself in a world of strange new names such as Sue, Bill, Max, Sam, and Joe-in short ( really short) a world of ordinary monikers. PreS-Gr 2- She was a perfect baby, and her doting parents chose a name to match, Chrysanthemum.

The Musical!: Beginning Thursday, May 4 ![]() ![]() ![]() Lewis discovered Phantastes in 1916, within a few hours he said he knew he “had crossed a great frontier.” MacDonald’s unusual fantasy set Lewis on the road toward his eventual conversion to Christianity, and forever after he referred to MacDonald as his “master.” Sales of Phantastes, however, proved a disappointment, and thus MacDonald ultimately turned to the writing of realistic fiction in the 1860s. Two volumes of poetry prior to this had set MacDonald apart as a talented young author to watch in England's literary circles. From that beginning, he embarks on a dream-like series of encounters that follow the form of an epic quest, though the purpose and destination of his journey remain obscure and are never fully clarified. The book’s narrator, Anodos, enters Fairy Land through a mysterious old wooden secretary. This unusual fantasy, subtitled A Fairie Romance, is one of MacDonald’s most mysterious and esoteric titles. George MacDonald’s first major fiction work, in his words “a sort of fairy tale for grown people,” Phantastes was published in 1858 by Smith, Elder & Co., London. ![]() ![]() Delivery with Standard Australia Post usually happens within 2-10 business days from time of dispatch.You can track your delivery by going to AusPost tracking and entering your tracking number - your Order Shipped email will contain this information for each parcel.
