The Light Princess is a short story that is warm and humorous, with a surprisingly poignant conclusion. A princess doomed by a witch to lose her "gravity" results in a silly heroine that has neither physical nor spiritual weight. George MacDonald's masterful teaching on the subject of sacrificial love is delivered eloquently in the events and characters of this engaging story.

It's a well known fact that a newborn princess will often be subject to a curse, especially if her royal parents neglect to invite an important magical relative to the christening.

Even worse, she's apt to blow away on the first stiff breeze!

While floating through life may provide this heroine with a seemingly carefree existence, she has to find real love to teach her the importance of genuine emotion as well as the gifts of sacrifice and selflessness.
