''The Light Princess'' is an 1864 fairy tale, was written by [[George MacDonald (Creator)|George MacDonald]] (1824-1905), a writer who inspired the likes of [[JRR Tolkien (Creator)|JRR Tolkien]], [[CS Lewis (Creator)|CS Lewis]], and [[Madeleine L Engle]]. It's a fairy tale about a princess who is cursed to lose her gravity, and some parts of it are decidedly tongue-in-cheek. More than one audio version exists, so do give them a try.

So this King and Queen desperately want a child -- you know how that goes -- and eventually they get one. The little girl is due to have a christening party when the King conveniently forgets to invite his sister, an evil woman with magical powers. The woman arrives just the same, and curses the Princess with a lack of gravity.
