Publisher's Synopsis
The Light Princess is a classic fairy tale written by George MacDonald. The story is about a princess who is cursed by a wicked witch and loses her gravity. As a result, she is always floating in the air and cannot touch the ground. The king and queen are desperate to find a cure for their daughter's curse and offer a reward to anyone who can help. A young prince takes up the challenge and sets out to find a way to break the curse. Along the way, he faces many obstacles and challenges, but with the help of some magical creatures, he finally finds the solution. The Light Princess is a charming and whimsical tale that teaches valuable lessons about love, sacrifice, and the importance of finding one's true self.So perfectly like other people had she been in the water, that even yet the prince could scarcely believe his eyes when he saw her ascend slowly, grasp the balcony, and disappear through the window. He turned, almost expecting to see her still by his side. But he was alone in the water. So he swam away quietly, and watched the lights roving about the shore for hours after the princess was safe in her chamber. As soon as they disappeared, he landed in search of his tunic and sword, and, after some trouble, found them again.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
