Cross Purposes and the Shadows by George Macdonald (Paperback Book)
There are two of MacDonalds fairy tales in this collection from 1862. The goblin Toadstool and the fairy Pease blossom embark on the most bizarre mission to entice a boy and a girl to Faery so they can be brought before the Fairyland Queen because her subjects are too wellbehaved to be amusing. Once upon a time, the Queen of Fairyland had a sudden longing to have a mortal or two at her Court. She fixed upon two to bring to Fairyland, but how were they to be brought? "I have heard that you have pretty ways of doing things so you may try." Alice was the daughter of the squire, a pretty, goodnatured girl whom her friends called fairylike. One rosy summer evening she lay gazing at the wall opposite her window with tears in her eyes. All around them was a vast, hilly landscape. She was unable to even determine where they had originated from. She responds, "The author must accompany you, he sees." From every leaf and petal of these, from every branch tip and tendril, drops of bright water. As they went on, the diamond drops turned to halfliquid pearls, and the water went to sleep. | George Macdonald Cross Purposes & The Shadows Paperback Book
