Great video, very well put together. Perceval was an innocent hero of purity, and could not fathom what was happening at the end. Anados had “eaten the apple” so to speak.

Well-put! Anodos, like Christ, gave his life to save many. In the end, he was able to cast aside his ideals and submit to death.

Thank you for the video!! I’m just getting started with his work. Thankful for it, and I very much appreciate how you closed this video - may we all seek and keep our focus on our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! We can do that, through exploring great works such as written by Lewis! 🙏🏻
@thepipersmantel17 күн бұрын
Thank you for your kind words, James! I would also like to recommend that you look in to George MacDonald. C.S. Lewis referred to him as his spiritual master. Reading George MacDonald's "Phantastes" was a pivotal moment in the life of Lewis, and it undoubtedly aided in his eventual conversion.

I’m glad to see George MacDonald receive some measure of the attention he deserves. Phantastes is a great masterpiece, and so are the Curdie books. And he is indeed the earliest modern fantasist that I know of.

Good morning Dan, well that’s a perfectionist at work, Dan I have to say I absolutely loved the book and it will sit on my book case with the others in series as they come out, therefore due to your original generosity and it being the first edition signed by you I have no need to trade it in, it means a lot to me, so looking forward to the release of your next books, keep in touch and let me know when available 😊

Thanks Javier! Your words mean a great deal to me. You have been supporting my work from the very beginning and I really appreciate it. I'm sure you will like the updated version. I still have many projects in the works, but I hope to have the second book in the series released before Christmas next year. It will be a long wait, but I want to make sure the same mistakes aren't made again, so that every book is as perfect as it can be.

Thank you! I hope you like it. There has been an issue with the gloss paperback. It should be printing in colour, but for some reason it's been printing in black & white. If you receive any of the books in black & white, just send me a picture of it and I'll have my publisher send you a colour version free of charge.

The Tribulations of Eloria (book 1) "The Last Shadar". I don't recommend purchasing a copy until the updated version has been released. I'll be announcing the update on my channel soon, and will be talking about some of the changes that have been made. I'm also hoping to release a book of short stories by the end of the year that I was inspired to write after reading George MacDonald's "The Golden Key".
