Book description
The Day Boy and Night Girl - also referred to as The Romance of
Photogen and Nycteris - first appeared in Harper's Young People as a
series between December of 1879 and January of 1880. Regarded as George
MacDonald's best work, it features a witch who, in her pursuit of total
knowledge, performs an experiment to mould two people from birth by
strictly controlling their environments. Many of the finest stories of
magic and fantasy, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and
before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are
republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern
editions, using the original text and artwork.
