The Lost Princess: A Classic Victorian Fairy Story - Hardcover

by George MacDonald (Author)

George MacDonald's The Lost Princess: A Double Tale is a richly imaginative fairy story exploring pride, humility, and the transformation of character.

The tale follows two princesses whose lives are shaped by very different paths. One must learn humility after being raised in privilege and pride, while the other discovers courage and compassion through hardship and adventure. Through their journeys, MacDonald explores how character is formed not by birth or rank but through trials, kindness, and moral growth.

Filled with wonder, humor, and subtle moral insight, the story reflects MacDonald's distinctive approach to fairy tales-stories that entertain while quietly encouraging reflection on virtue, self-knowledge, and the importance of humility.

George MacDonald's fairy tales influenced later masters of fantasy such as C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. In The Lost Princess, his gift for imaginative storytelling and thoughtful symbolism is once again on full display, offering readers a timeless tale of transformation and discovery.
