Phantastes: A Faerie Romance for Men and Women

George MacDonald · Smith, Elder & Co. (London) · 1858

No book-club edition applies — an 1858 London novel predates the book-club era by decades. Reprint tells are therefore imprint-based: any copy naming Loring, Fifield, Dent/Everyman, Daldy Isbister, Gollancz or a modern press is a reprint or 'first thus', not the Smith, Elder sheets. The target is a Smith, Elder title page dated 1858 in blind-stamped dark green pebbled cloth with the September 1858 catalogue at the rear.
