The Light Princess Mere Sanity

    • Christianity

A story by George MacDonald, adapted and abridged by Ross Byrd.

In fairy tales, what is the nature of a curse and how is it broken? Is a curse placed upon someone against their will or is it willingly embraced from within? In order to be free, does the change have to come from within or must deliverance come from outside? In Christian terms, did our redemption happen "on the cross" or does it happen "in our hearts" when we repent and believe? This is an adaptation of George MacDonald's The Light Princess, my favorite fairy tale. I have shortened it and adapted the language for the modern reader. Hopefully not too much has been lost in the translation. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Special thanks to Will Rodriguez for the beautiful music!
