Publisher's Synopsis
The Day Boy and the Night Girl is a classic fairy tale written by George MacDonald. The story follows a young prince named Photogen who is cursed to be blind during the day and can only see at night. One night, he encounters a mysterious girl named Nycteris who can only see during the day. As they spend time together, they begin to understand each other's worlds and learn to appreciate the beauty of both day and night. However, their happiness is threatened by the evil wizard, Watho, who seeks to keep them apart. With the help of a wise old man, the Day Boy and the Night Girl must overcome Watho's magic and find a way to be together. This enchanting tale explores themes of love, acceptance, and the importance of seeing beyond appearances.WATHO at length had her desire, for witches often get what they want: a splendid boy was born to the fair Aurora. Just as the sun rose, he opened his eyes. Watho carried him immediately to a distant part of the castle, and persuaded the mother that he never cried but once, dying the moment he was born. Overcome with grief, Aurora left the castle as soon as she was able, and Watho never invited her again.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
