Double Story

A Double Story was written by George MacDonald and first published in 1875. This is a fairy tale with intended moral training. The lives of two children and a wise older woman intersect in a tale dealing with self-centeredness and overcoming pride. The book is not a"live happily ever after" book. MacDonald weaves the idea that change takes time, forgiveness, and forgiving. According to reviews, it is a book that would be enjoyed (and edifying) for both children and adults.
