The Wise Woman is a novel written by George MacDonald, first published in 1875. The story revolves around a young boy named Percival, who is sent to live with his wealthy but neglectful grandfather after his mother's death. Percival is unhappy and lonely, and his grandfather's servants are cruel to him. One day, he wanders into the forest and meets a mysterious woman who calls herself the Wise Woman. She takes him under her wing and teaches him about life, love, and the power of forgiveness. The Wise Woman uses her magical powers to show Percival the consequences of his actions and to help him understand the true meaning of happiness. Along the way, Percival learns about the importance of family, friendship, and the value of hard work. The novel is a heartwarming tale of personal growth and redemption, with a strong moral message about the power of love and forgiveness.The wise woman lifted the princess tenderly, and washed and dressed her far more carefully than even her nurse. Then she set her down by the fire, and prepared her breakfast. She was very hungry, and the bread and milk as good as it could be, so that she thought she had never in her life eaten anything nicer. Nevertheless, as soon as she began to have enough, she said to herself.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
