A little about the story
In a country where things go rather oddly, two little girls grow up spoiled in very different ways: one a proud princess in a palace, the other a shepherd's daughter full of self-importance. A mysterious Wise Woman takes each of them in hand.
George MacDonald's fairy tale is a clever, searching story about selfishness and how hard it is to see ourselves truly. It is also known as The Wise Woman and The Lost Princess.
