At the Back of the North Wind is next week's text and it's available on Gutenberg for free (so no excuses!)
If you want to have a read ahead, the George Macdonald Society website is a good place to start. There are a few of his essays on here, note, in particular, The Fantastic Imagination (here: http://www.george-macdonald.com/etexts/nonfiction/fantastic_imagination.html ) which will be discussed next week.
Fantastic Literature: A Critical Reader by David Sandner is also very good and also discusses other key texts. http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=-AR9FEgly9wC&pg=PA64&lpg=PA64&dq=george+Macdonald+fantastic+imagination&source=bl&ots=AcJwxoe-NT&sig=Ep9oy7x-jbt_X4C85RgkLClfQ2g&hl=en&sa=X&ei=NbUSUd-TGZOS0QXgioGABg&ved=0CD4Q6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=george%20Macdonald%20fantastic%20imagination&f=false
Also:

If you have some spare reading time then cosy up with The King of the Golden River, it can be found here: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/701
