George MacDonald's best fiction and best non-fiction

I have been wanting to read some George MacDonald. Any recomendations? I generally prefer fiction because I can see how the author feels his philosophy applies in life. (I guess I have a learning style that understands principles better when I can see examples.)

At the Back of the North Wind was always my favorite. What an incredible adventure for Diamond to have known the lady who was the North Wind. The book could be described as a spiritual fantasy.

I like North Wind even better than Phantastes. It is simpler and more comprehensible, and I could relate to Diamond better than the heavy complexities of Phantastes. But some people think Phatastes is his best book. C. S. Lewis said he crossed new frontier after reading it. North Wind was more like Nainia to me-- readable uncomplicated fantasy. But I admit they're both incredible books.
