The Wise Woman (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169232884)

The Wise Woman is a novel written by George MacDonald, a Scottish author, and poet. It tells the story of a young girl named Princess Irene, who lives in a castle with her father, the King, and her nursemaid, Lootie. One day, while exploring the castle, Irene discovers a secret stairway that leads to a mysterious woman's room. The woman, who is known as the Wise Woman, is a powerful and magical being who teaches Irene important life lessons and helps her to overcome her fears.As the story progresses, Irene learns that the Wise Woman is actually her great-great-grandmother, who has been watching over her family for generations. With the help of the Wise Woman, Irene must confront the evil goblins who threaten her kingdom and learn to become a wise and compassionate ruler.The Wise Woman is a classic fairy tale that explores themes of courage, wisdom, and love. MacDonald's beautiful prose and vivid descriptions bring the story to life, while his timeless message about the importance of kindness and empathy resonates with readers of all ages.The wise woman lifted the princess tenderly, and washed and dressed her far more carefully than even her nurse. Then she set her down by the fire, and prepared her breakfast. She was very hungry, and the bread and milk as good as it could be, so that she thought she had never in her life eaten anything nicer. Nevertheless, as soon as she began to have enough, she said to herself.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
