Line 49:
* [[Too Good for This Sinful Earth]]
* [[The Vamp]]: [[Lilith]] in her eponymous novel, and the Maiden of the Alder-Tree in ''Phantastes''.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: MacDonald once proposed to an American literary friend that they should collaborate on a novel in order to secure copyright on both sides of the Atlantic. The friend's name? [[Mark Twain]]. Unfortunately the project never transpired. However, scholars have pointed out some similarities between MacDonald's ''Sir Gibbie'' and Twain's ''[[Huckleberry Finn]]'', suggesting that perhaps they discussed such a story together.

* [[Writer on Board]]
** An example that even this [[Tropes Are Not Bad|trope is not bad]]. [[C. S. Lewis|CS Lewis]] observed of Macdonald's non-fantasy novels, "Sometimes they diverge into direct and prolonged preachments which would be intolerable if a man were reading for the story, but which are in fact welcome because the author... is a supreme preacher."
