Publisher's Synopsis
The Light Princess by George MacDonald is a classic fairy tale that tells the story of a princess who is cursed with weightlessness. She has no gravity and floats around like a balloon, unable to touch the ground. The only way to break the curse is for her to find someone who can make her cry. However, the princess is known for her lack of emotions and cannot cry. The story follows the princess as she goes on various adventures and meets a prince who falls in love with her. Together, they try to break the curse and find a way for the princess to regain her gravity. Along the way, they encounter various obstacles and learn important lessons about love, sacrifice, and the power of emotions. The Light Princess is a charming and whimsical tale that appeals to both children and adults.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.
