The Forgotten Forefather: George MacDonald's Legacy

Though mentioned by C.S. Lewis many times, George MacDonald is an often-overlooked piece of fantasy and Christian literature history. Who was this Scotsman whose book "Phantastes" was the baptism of Lewis' imagination? And why did J.R.R. Tolkien look at it with such a critical eye? And how do you even pronounce that title?
