Please note There are numerous sellers who publish this title and the featured publisher changes from time to time.
This is the second edition prepared in July 2017.
The purpose is to present a text as close to the original as possible.
A note about this edition: All Gracebeard Publishing books that are taken from a public domain work are proofread in their entirety to fix formatting/spelling issues.
The truth is that we cannot find the Kingdom of God within us (Luke 17:21) if we are unwilling to fight the dragons, traverse through the dark realms, and slay the poisonous beasts in our hearts that have aided in nurturing our dismal condition.
MacDonald, through the two young girls in this story, beautifully bears our hearts on these pages.
But will it work? As many people have reflected, this book is a bit like a mirror.
Their self-destructive pride is challenged by the mysterious Wise Woman who takes them on adventures and exposes them to various trials in order to help the two girls know themselves more deeply.
Both girls have been terribly spoiled and are quite conceited, but in completely different ways.
There are two girls: one a princess and the other a daughter of humble shepherds.
