Aristotle, On Dreams
Cicero, On Friendship
The Song of Roland
Dante, The Divine Comedy
Cervantes, Don Quixote
Goethe, Faust
Beowulf
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
Malory, Le Morte D’Arthur

MacDonald, Phantastes
MacDonald, Lilith
C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters
C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man
C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce
C.S. Lewis, The Pilgrim’s Regress
