Summary

This is the story of two girls, one is a princess and the other is a daughter of a shepherd; both are spoiled and self-serving. Their lives are changed forever when they encounter the Wise Woman, who undertakes to teach them virtue with an astounding balance of grace and truth. Firm and loving, the Wise Woman is everything a good parent could hope to be, and a refreshing portrayal of the Heavenly Parent in us all.

Great teaching of character in fairytale style

My girls (6,8,10yrs) enjoyed this tale. They learned one should choose the good and let God teach you. Beautiful. It is an intense book but they were riveted.
The narration is old-school and the vocabulary of high standard, I feel my children grew in literature appreciation and abolity to digest higher grade language.
