Source for the Inklings, and (esp.) MacDonald. Very dreamlike and beautiful. Quintessential early German Romanticism.

It is beautiful and easy to read, but there are several side stories so sometimes I forgot the main story. It is also an unfinished work.

One of the 1001 books you have to read before you die, I thought I'd give this a go. Unfortunately, I only got halfway through before I had to give up! A strange mixture of poetry, dream sequences and muddled storylines.

More a treatise on poetry than a traditional tale, it has a simplicity of prose yet high mindedness of ideas. How dearly I despair that it was never finished. Yet even an unfinished painting may show beauty and so does Henrich Von OfterDingen
