Representaion Conducive To Books The Light Princess
The Light Princess is a short story that is warm and humorous, with a surprisingly poignant conclusion. A princess doomed by a witch to lose her “gravity” results in a silly heroine that has neither physical nor spiritual weight. George MacDonald’s masterful teaching on the subject of sacrificial love is delivered eloquently in the events and characters of this engaging story.Rating Epithetical Books The Light Princess

I just love George MacDonald -- Scottish writer of Christian themes as well as of Fantasy,responsible for influencing the writings of G.K. Chesterton and C.S. Lewis -- and this wonderful fairy tale of his, "The Light Princess" is my favorite of his all his children's stories (or Fantasy work in general).A gravity-defying child was born to a King and Queen (or she was cursed by her witch aunt, I think). She is so light-hearted and carefree that she literally floats on air. One day, when theWritten by Scottish writer George MacDonald and published in 1864, this childrens fairy tale is very similar to Sleeping Beauty. But not as child friendly, probably because of when it was written and because some of the actions by some of the characters were rather harsh. Still, it was enjoyable. The light in the title does not refer to illumination, but to gravity, or rather the lack of gravity. It was an interesting concept, and considering when it was written, it seemed very modern in it's
The best book I have ever read of all time!! This book inspired me to write my own stories. In some places it's sad, but it has a happy ending!
*read for class*This was a cute little fairytale!
This is arguably the best fairy tale I have ever read. It's about a Princess who is bewitched at birth by her evil aunt so that she has no gravity and will float away unless tied to the ground.While MacDonald's writing often struggles in terms of style and clarity, his understanding of people, virtue, and the redemptive power of Charity are unparalleled. His poems have an innocence to them that elucidates why we write and read poems and all: coming to know God.The witch of an aunt was a terrific
Aww, this was such a cute book! Also a very crazy one, but cute nonetheless.I really enjoyed the old-fashioned writing, so beautiful and melodic, it took me back without an ounce of effort right into the era of fairy tales. The plot was a bit wacky but I was surprised by how many layers there were to it. As soon as I thought I'd figured it out, it threw my expectations right out of the window. It certainly feels old enough to have that enchanting quality to it, but at the same time is
Such a delightful quick read. I first learned of this story after hearing Tori Amos's musical. I checked out the book. It is different from the material Tori used. The Princess loses gravity after the king's sister puts a spell on her. She can't be serious and it is thought she needs to cry to bring her down by the doctors of the king. No one can make her cry until...This is a fun and playful little read. I simply love this story and wish I knew about it as a child. A great story for your
