The Light Princess [Paperback]

The Light Princess--the princess who lost her gravity --has been essential fiction for several generations of children. This new edition is a companion volume (same page size, similar design) to our edition ofThe Golden Key, of whichPublishers' Weeklysaid: Maurice Sendak lights the way through MacDonald's Kingdom with the most mystical, the most poetic pictures of his distinguished career. Now Sendak has made the picturesThe Light Princessalways deserved to have.
This is the only separate edition available that preserves the authentic text; it is neither cut nor edited nor improved in any way.

George Macdonaldis the author ofAt the Back of the North Wind.

???For [this] elegant edition of the Victorian story that combines seriousness with levity and farce with fantasy, the artist has created pictures that...present the ludicrous element of the story; then become poetic and romantic; and finally are climaxed by the last crowning revelation of the light princess humanized by sorrow and love.??? ???Starred, The Horn Book
