The Princess not only floats, she can’t feel serious emotions like fear, sadness, or love—and if she can’t find her gravity by her 16th birthday, the Witch will take over the kingdom. As the Princess grows up, what she loves more than anything is to swim in the lake, for that is the one place she has weight. But the Wisemen, her guard- ians and tutors, don’t have time to swim with her. The Princess’ 16th birthday is fast approaching, and the Wisemen are busy coming up with ideas to help her find her gravity. Alas, the Princess’ attempts to cry all end in laughter… because, as the Queen points out, love, not tears, is what allows us to feel weighty emotions. However, the Princess has never fallen in love. Over the Queen’s objections, the King and Wisemen decide to hold a Suitor Competition to find the Princess a husband.

MEET THE AUTHOR: GEORGE MACDONALD Adapted from George MacDonald: Life, Works, Legacy by Matthew Bracey he stage play The Light Princess is adapted from a fairy tale that Scottish author, George MacDonald, originally published in 1864. George MacDonald was born in 1824 in Aberdeen- shire, Scotland. As a boy, he loved boxing and reading. THe eventually learned to read in Dutch, English, French, Ger- man, Greek, Italian, Latin and Spanish. After graduating from university, MacDonald moved to London, where he studied theology. When his career as a preacher proved unsuccess- ful, he tried his hand at writing. His extensive knowledge of language and culture played an important role in his ability to paint vivid, memorable pictures in his books. Some years later, poet W.H. Auden wrote: “In his power to project his inner life into images, beings, landscapes which are valid for all, he is one of the most remarkable writers of the nineteenth century.” MacDonald published more than 50 books over the course of four decades. While he wrote fiction, non- fiction, and poetry, he is best remembered for his fan- tasy and fairy tales. “I write, not for children,” he wrote, “but for the child-like, whether they be of five, or fifty, or seventy-five.” The story “The Light Princess” was origi- nally published as part of a longer novel, Adela Cathcart, in 1864. Some of his other best known works include Phantases (1858), At the Back of the North Wind (1871), The Princess and the Goblin (1872) and The Princess and Curdie (1883). MacDonald served as a mentor to Lewis Carroll, and en- couraged him to publish Alice in Wonderland. His writings also had a substantial influence on several major 20th century fantasy authors, including C.S. Lewis (The Chronicles of Narnia), J.R.R. Tolk- ien (The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings), and Madeleine L’Engle (A Wrinkle in Time). MacDonald spend the last two decades of his life living in Italy with his wife. He died in 1905, at the age of 80. Portrait of George MacDonald in 1863 4 • SOUTH COAST REPERTORY • The Light Princess GOING TO THE SOURCE: A SUMMARY OF GEORGE MACDONALD’S THE LIGHT PRINCESS Adapted from Rag & Bone Puppet Theatre Teacher’s Guide nce upon a time, so long ago that I have forgotten the date, there lived a king and queen who had no children. The King was “ always grumbling about it. It was more than he deserved,O therefore, when, at last, the king and queen had a daughter—as lovely a little princess as ever cried.” The King wrote all the invitations to the christening and, of course, he forgot someone. Unfortunately, the person he forgot was his own sister, the Princess Makemnoit. And she was a wicked witch. Makemnoit arrived at the christening with an evil spell for the baby: Light of spirit, by my charms, Never weary human arms. Light of body, every part; Only crush thy parents’ heart. Suddenly, the Princess was lighter than air; she’d lost her gravity. One day she slipped out of her nurse’s arms and floated to the ceiling. The King had to get a ladder to pull her down. Another day, they put the baby down to sleep on the Queen’s bed and a gust of wind carried her off. They found her under a rose bush, and they watched her much more carefully after that. Everyone loved the baby, because she was always laughing. The servants loved to play ball with her, with the laughing baby as the ball.

  • The Princess and the Goblin and the Princess and Curdie
    The Princess and the Goblin and The Princess and Curdie Colin Manlove George MacDonald’s The Princess and the Goblin (1872), which first appeared in Good Words for the Young from November 1870 to June 1871, is based on the traditional notion of fairy people trying to kidnap women, and also ultimately stems from myths of subterranean beings stealing people of the surface for their own—notably in the story of Pluto and Proserpina. In MacDonald’s story the goblins live in mines and dig into the house in which young Princess Irene lives, to seize her and make her the wife of their Prince Harelip. This idea is common in Victorian times in the frequent translations of such stories of the Grimms as “Snow White” or “Rumpelstiltskin,” and from Dickens’s “The Sexton and the Goblins” in Pickwick Papers (1838) to Mrs Juliana Horatia Ewing’s “Amelia and the Dwarfs” (1871). Indeed the very year in which The Princess and the Goblin first appeared in book form also saw the publication of Bulwer Lytton’s The Coming Race, the story of a technologically far advanced race living beneath the earth and planning to take over the world. The Victorians, it is well known, were continually and fearfully aware of the potential for revolution among the downtrodden proletariat, for whom their numerous charities were in part sops to Cerberus.1 While MacDonald is rarely political in his writing, in The Princess and the Goblin he does tap into a social current of his age. His temperament, while often socialist towards individuals, is more laissez-faire towards groups.

IMAGINING EVIL: GEORGE MACDONALD’S THE WISE WOMAN: A PARABLE (1875) Colin Manlove George MacDonald has some claim to the title of “a neglected Scottish writer.” A great man and author in his day, he is now largely forgotten in his own country. Only his children’s fairy tales still spark an occasional glimmer of recognition, particularly his At the Back of the North Wind (1870) and The Princess and the Goblin (1872). Recent academic interest in MacDonald as a fantasy writer, and particularly as the forerunner of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, has however begun to rescue him from obscurity, particularly in the U.S.. Here I want to carry on this process by showing the power of a story which where noticed is too often condemned—The Wise Woman: A Parable.

  • Fairy Tales and Political Socialization
    FAIRY TALES AND POLITICAL SOCIALIZATION by Mehrdad Faiz Samadzadeh A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Curriculum, Teaching & Leadership University of Toronto Ontario Institute for Studies in Education © Copyright by Mehrdad Faiz Samadzadeh 2018 FAIRY TALES AND POLITICAL SOCIALIZATION Mehrdad Faiz Samadzadeh Doctor of Philosophy Department of Curriculum, Teaching & Leadership Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2018 Abstract The concept of childhood is one of the many facets of modernity that entered Western consciousness in the seventeenth century. It emanated from the historical mutations of the post-Renaissance era that set in motion what Norbert Elias calls the civilizing process, one that spawned a repressive mode of socialization in tandem with the cultural and ideological hegemony of the new power elite. Accordingly, childhood became a metaphor for oppression targeting not only children, but also women, the underclass, the social outcast, and the colonized as they all were deemed “incompletely human”. From mid-nineteenth century on, however, childhood began to evince a liberating potential in tandem with the changing direction of modern Western civilization. This ushered in an alternative concept of childhood inspired by the shared characteristics between the medieval and modern child that finds expression in the works of distinguished literary figures of the Victorian era. What followed was an entire movement towards the recognition of children’s rights and status that set the context for the growing interest in childhood as a subject of historical inquiry in the twentieth century. This conceptual vicissitude of childhood is central to the present thesis which I pursue in relation to the literary genre of fairy tale.

  • THE LIGHT PRINCESS GEORGE MACDONALD 1. What! No Children?
    THE LIGHT PRINCESS GEORGE MACDONALD 1. What! No Children? Once upon a time, so long ago that I have quite forgotten the date, there lived a king and queen who had no children. And the king said to himself, "All the queens of my acquaintance have children, some three, some seven, and some as many as twelve; and my queen has not one. I feel ill-used." So he made up his mind to be cross with his wife about it. But she bore it all like a good patient queen as she was. Then the king grew very cross indeed. But the queen pretended to take it all as a joke, and a very good one too. "Why don't you have any daughters, at least?" said he. "I don't say sons; that might be too much to expect." "I am sure, dear king, I am very sorry," said the queen. "So you ought to be," retorted the king; "you are not going to make a virtue of that, surely." But he was not an ill-tempered king, and in any matter of less moment would have let the queen have her own way with all his heart. This, however, was an affair of state. The queen smiled. "You must have patience with a lady, you know, dear king," said she. She was, indeed, a very nice queen, and heartily sorry that she could not oblige the king immediately. 2. Won't I, Just? The king tried to have patience, but he succeeded very badly. It was more than he deserved, therefore, when, at last, the queen gave him a daughter--as lovely a little princess as ever cried.
