The Day Boy and the Night Girl

The Day Boy and the Night Girl

by George MACDONALD (1824 - 1905)

A boy named Photogen, who has never seen the moon, meets a girl named Nycteris, who has never seen the sun. The two of them must escape from the witch Watho. As usual with George MacDonald, this fairy tale has layers of meaning that go deeper than the story on the surface. (summary by L.A. Walden)
