The Light Princess | A Scottish Fairy Tale of Gravity, Sorrow and the Weight of Love | A Simple

The Light Princess | A Scottish Fairy Tale of Gravity, Sorrow and the Weight of Love | A Simple

Simple Tales presents George MacDonald's enchanting Scottish literary fairy tale The Light Princess—a profound and poetic story about gravity, selflessness, and the transforming power of true emotion.

Cursed by a vengeful aunt at her christening, a little princess grows up entirely without gravity—floating through rooms and unable to take anything seriously, laughing at pain, danger, and sadness alike. The only place she feels weight and peace is within the royal lake. But when a wicked spell drains the lake dry and a brave prince willingly sacrifices his life to refill the waters, the princess's heart finally breaks open. In learning how to weep, she discovers the true, heavy cost of love and what it means to care for someone beyond herself.

📖 In this story:

A masterwork of fantasy literature by George MacDonald. The Light Princess reminds us that while joy is wonderful, it is through sorrow, empathy, and deep love that we truly anchor ourselves in the world.
