Narration In Pursuance Of 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.

Evaluation Based On Books The Light Princess

George MacDonald is a bit of a mixed bag as an author. Essentially, his realistic fictions tend to drag their way to somewhat heavy-handed moral conclusions, while his fantasies dance along with impish humor and a genuine sense of wonder.This collection demonstrates MacDonald the fantasist at his best. Funny, moving, and thoroughly compassionate, each tale is well worth reading--and may just stick with you for the rest of your life.

A fascinating little tale about a mindless princess, a gallant prince, and the irreplaceable value of emotion.

I reviewed a Neil Gaiman book yesterday, comparing his land of Faerie to George MacDonald's (favorably, I might add). I've come to realize that I compare a lot of fantasy writers to George MacDonald. Very few of them hold up.MacDonald is an old master of the fairy tale, in the way that Rubens is an old master of realistic painting. MacDonald's stories are all unique, all fascinating, all beautiful and frightening and funny and evocative and imminently re-readable. The Light Princess is one of

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

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 the

*read for class*This was a cute little fairytale!

The Light Princess is a delightful, tongue in cheek, humourous read. The book is filled with puns and witticisms and is told from the perspective of characters who hate all puns and witticisms. Its a fun little fairy tale that can be read in a quick sitting. Whether this book would be entertaining to modern children is not known to me, but I would guess it would be to many. Its a fun book which I would recommend strongly. The Light Princess tells the story of a Princess who has no gravity, she
