    About this audiobook

    You must learn to be strong in the dark as well as in the day, else you will always be only half brave. This work is a wonderfully evocative and mysterious tale of two children's fight against an evil witch. The boy Photogen, who has never seen the moon, meets the girl Nycteris, who has never seen the sun. Together they must escape from the witch Watho. As usual, the author George MacDonald takes the listener on a journey going far deeper than the story in itself...

Auden called him "one of the most remarkable writers of the nineteenth century."
