A Victorian-era fairy tale of one woman’s quest to redeem a selfish girl—from the Scottish author of The Princess and the Goblin.   This shorter fairy tale “Double Story” (by which title it was also published), tells the story of spoiled Princess Rosamond, and a mysterious wise woman whom she meets in the forest, and who continues to come to her in different guises which the princess does not always recognize. Considered by some as one of MacDonald’s “short stories” rather than a novel, this edition includes MacDonald’s insightful essay, “The Fantastic Imagination.” This edition of The Wise Woman for The Cullen Collection is unedited.   “Reading this book reminded me why George MacDonald’s wonderful fairy-tales have always been so treasured by Christian writers from CS Lewis to Madeleine L’Engle . . . an astounding, rich story.”—Vintage Novels
