Book excerpt: Lilith: A Romance "Lilith: A Romance" is George MacDonald's 1895 fantasy novel, which is the story of Mr. Vane, a library owner who seems to be haunted by a former librarian. When Vane encounters this apparition, he discovers that he knew his father, who now resides in "the region of the seven dimensions." Vane follows the apparition through a mirror to this strange new world where he meets the house of beds, the Little Ones, and Lilith, the princess of Bulika. A fantastic journey through a mystical world, "Lilith" is considered one of MacDonald's darkest and deepest works, one that concerns the very nature of life, death, and salvation itself.
