The Light Princess
by George MacDonald

 

2007 TEV Canada

A princess gets cursed by a wicked witch at her christening with lightness and has to float blissfully about the castle all day long. No doubt she gets into all sorts of adventures, as one can easily imagine. Yet it holds a powerful spiritual truth. Gravity, weight, sorrow, suffering--all of this the princess misses, but with all of these she misses love, for what is love without weight, without body? What is love without falling? She discovers this truth, of course, only at the last minute when a faithful prince loves her enough to die for her.
