"Little Daylight": An Old Tale Transfigured.
Gunther, Adrian
Children's Literature in Education, v26 n2 p107-17 Jun 1995
Discusses "Little Daylight," an original fairy tale that lies within George MacDonald's children's book "At the Back of the North Wind." Shows how the tale encapsulates some of MacDonald's key philosophical concepts, and subverts numerous expectations a reader may bring to the fairy-tale genre. (SR)
