About this book

This is where MacDonald did some of his finest work, in short fairy tales that read as easily to children as to the adults who quietly need them more. The collection gathers the stories that made his name in the form, among them the weightless princess of The Light Princess, the searching children of The Golden Key, and the willful girls of the tale sometimes called The Wise Woman, spirited away to learn hard truths about themselves. Magic here is never merely decoration; it tests character and turns the reader inward. Written across the 1860s and after, these tales shaped the whole tradition of the literary fairy story. A free PDF and EPUB edition is available to download.
