I'm delighted to be part of this extraordinary conference at Magdalen College, Oxford. With fellow artist Elizabeth Porritt Carrington. For those interested, here is a link:- 
http://www.george-macdonald.com/macdonaldsociety/conference2014.html. 
There will also be a candlelit dinner with readings from the writings of C.S.Lewis, and an 'Inklings of Oxford Fantasists tour' with Colin Duriez.
This is in advance of our exhibition highlighting the fantasy & Children's writing of George MacDonald with Glasgow museums in 2016 (also including Sven Werner)

'Then the Old Man of the Earth stooped over the floor of the cave, raised a huge stone from it, and left it leaning. It disclosed a great hole that went plumb-down.
"This is the way" he said
"but there are no stairs."
"You must throw yourself in. There is no other way."
She turned and looked at him full in the face - stood so far a whole minute, as she thought (it was a whole year), then threw herself headlong into the hole'


 (Extract from the Short Story 'The Golden Key' by George MacDonald)










Portrait of George MacDonald lecturing drawn by Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882) on the back of an admission ticket to one of George's lecture series.
