The Wise Woman: A Parable

In this story, MacDonald again weaves deep truths into a fairytale about two girls who encounter a wise old woman and are forever changed. The Wise Woman is a tale about two girls, one a shepherdess and the other a princess, both unhappy, spoiled little brats. Under similar circumstances they both encounter a wise old woman who shows what they are like inside, but the choices of each girl lead to very different results. This is a delightful and refreshing tale that will delight and inspire. As MacDonald said, "I could tell you a great deal more concerning them all, but I have already told more than is good for those who read but with their foreheads, and enough for those whom it has made look a little solemn, and sigh as they close the book."

Awesome fiction about the truths of sin and God's grace and salvation in Jesus Christ.

One of the best books of all time!
