The Light Princess by George MacDonald THE LIGHT PRINCESS GEORGE MACDONALD 1. What! No Children? Once upon a time, so long ago that I have quite forgotten the date, there lived a king and queen who had no children.

The Light Princess is a simple enough tale, clearly written for children--a princess at her christening is cursed by a wicked witch with lightness (she floats blissfully about the castle all day long, and gets into all sorts of adventures, as one can easily imagine)--yet it holds a powerful spiritual truth. Gravity, weight, sorrow, suffering--all of this the princess misses, but with all of these she misses love, for what is love without weight, without body?. "The Light Princess" is George MacDonald's fairy tale. It is the story of a young girl, the daughter of the King, who at her christening is cursed to have no gravity by the uninvited Princess Makemnoit, sister to the King and a spiteful and bitter woman. As a result the princess is in constant danger of being carried away by the wind. Verified Purchase.

The old english text would be difficult for young readers.
