About this listen

 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 Fiction

With so much coddling of children and worrying about their ‘self esteem’ this book was a breath of fresh air. It deserves to be far more widely known. The best children’s books have messages for their parents too
