Inhaltsangabe
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.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a Scottish novelist, poet, minister, and pioneering writer of fantasy whose work helped shape the modern tradition of imaginative literature. His fiction ranges from realistic Scottish novels to fairy tales, children's fantasy, spiritual romance, and visionary works concerned with faith, death, moral growth, divine love, and the transformation of the soul. MacDonald's influence on later fantasy is immense; writers including C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien regarded him as a major predecessor in the development of Christian and mythic fantasy.MacDonald's best-known imaginative works include Phantastes, At the Back of the North Wind, The Princess and the Goblin, The Princess and Curdie, and Lilith. In these books, fantasy is not mere escape but a mode of spiritual exploration, using dream, fairy tale, symbol, and wonder to examine conscience, sacrifice, redemption, and the mystery of divine goodness. Lilith, first published in 1895, is among his darkest and most profound works, combining dream-vision, mythic fantasy, Christian symbolism, and a demanding vision of salvation.
