A Classic Since 1867
The Light Princess has been enchanting children and adults alike for 150 years. Its author is one of the best-kept secrets in all of literature: George MacDonald (1824-1905), Scottish poet, novelist, and minister. He was a close friend to Lewis Carroll, who read drafts of Alice in Wonderland to MacDonald's children; much admired by Mark Twain, whose Huckleberry Finn was likely influenced by MacDonald's Sir Gibbie; and an inspiration to C.S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia, who said of MacDonald, "I have never concealed the fact that I regarded him as my master; indeed I fancy I have never written a book in which I did not quote from him."

"I commend this delightful edition of The Light Princess, which is intended to benefit persecuted Christians around the world, and I cannot think of a single cause that George would want to support more than that of his suffering brothers."
