Wise Woman

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

A must read!

Any additional comments?

One of the best books ever written on parenting and life. What a changed country we would have if more read George McDonald. It is no wonder that he is one of C. S. Lewis's favorite authors and is honored by him in Lewis's Great Divorce.

Remedies for oúr sick society

This book describes so many out of control children and dysfunctional parents that exist in our society today. It offers numerous ideas for loving education and discipline of children. It also has ideas for parents who need to grow up and reasonably raise their children.

Nuggets

Such truths! I can't wait to read George MacDonald to my grandchildren! I enjoyed reading and listening together.

My favorite so far

I am a fan of C.S. Lewis so I decided I wanted to read his favorite author. I started with his sermons which I liked then began reading his fairly tales. This is my favorite so far.

Great reader of great book

The reader gave color and animation to the characters. Macdonald is always good, and this book is no different. Weird ending though.
