About this title

Synopsis

In his essay "The Fantastic Imagination", George MacDonald insisted, "I do not write for children, but for the childlike, whether of five, or fifty, or seventy-five."

Some stories contrast the experience of children with the world of adults, like Diamond in At the Back of the North Wind. Other times, his characters are on the borderland of childhood and adulthood, that magical coming-of-age time when anything seems possible.

In LITTLE DAYLIGHT, a teenage prince and princess are learning about life and themselves. By a wicked fairy's curse, the princess must sleep during the day and be awake at night. Only the good fairies understand the truth hidden beneath the surface. The enchantment, meant for evil, will not have the last word.

This edition of LITTLE DAYLIGHT includes ten color illustrations by Lucy Hough. Her artwork, combined with a preface and introduction by Michael Wilhelm, elevates the story for readers from seven to ninety-seven.
