This is the story of two girls, one is a princess and the other is a daughter of a shepherd; both are spoiled and self-serving. Their lives are changed forever when they encounter the Wise Woman, who undertakes to teach them virtue with an astounding balance of grace and truth. Firm and loving, the Wise Woman is everything a good parent could hope to be, and a refreshing portrayal of the Heavenly Parent in us all.©1980 George MacDonald (P)2009 christianaudio.com Fairy Tales, Folk Tales & Myths Growing Up Growing Up & Facts of Life Social & Life Skills Fiction

One of the best books ever written on parenting and life. What a changed country we would have if more read George McDonald. It is no wonder that he is one of C. S. Lewis's favorite authors and is honored by him in Lewis's Great Divorce.

A must read!

this is one of the best angle file stories ever written. My family has listened to it several times on road trips. it was also the book I made my daughter read when she was 14 and needed very extreme intervening parenting. I recommended the book too many people who did not think that they would like it to adore it. You have not read it, you need to.

I am a fan of C.S. Lewis so I decided I wanted to read his favorite author. I started with his sermons which I liked then began reading his fairly tales. This is my favorite so far.

The reader gave color and animation to the characters. Macdonald is always good, and this book is no different. Weird ending though.

This book has been a favorite since childhood, and continues to be as an adult. It is one of the very few books which I have read multiple times, always benefited from, and never wearied of. It is a book both young and old can enjoy--and learn from. For like C.S. Lewis who read much of George MacDonald, it has a deep meaning under the beautiful tale.

One of my all-time favorites

I thought this would just be a fun fairytale- I should have known better! As an adult I could see bits of myself in these petulant girls. Yikes! Truly a story we could all learn from.

Wisdom for all who read

I found out about this book when looking into C S Lewis. I can see why the author is a favorite of his. The story reads like an old fairy tale, but is so full of life's truths I enjoyed the lessons I learned from it, especially as a mother. I will definitely read this to my children again and again.

Am old story full of intrigue and meaning
