George Bird Grinnell charts the development of the Cheyenne people through the course of the 19th century and how they were forced to become increasingly militaristic, both with other tribes and the ever-encroaching United States government, in order to protect themselves and their culture. Although Grinnell states that "this book deals with the wars of the Cheyennes", he spends a great deal of time explaining their culture more deeply to provide a more complete picture of this fascinating tribe.

But malevolent forces are working against them above ground as well.

Totul se petrece într-un București în care sunt prezentate cozi la alimente, uleiul și zahărul se dau pe cartelă, străzile sunt luminate anemic, apa caldă nu curge la robinete, telefoanele sunt ascultate, cetățenii sunt supravegheați zi și noapte.

Și astăzi unii se întreabă cum de a trecut de cenzură un roman în care anchetatorul nu este un reprezentant al autorităților și în care deseori se râde de cutumele unei epoci pe care propaganda o considera de "aur".

The Light Princess is a short story that is warm and humorous, with a surprisingly poignant conclusion. A princess doomed by a witch to lose her "gravity" results in a silly heroine that has neither physical nor spiritual weight. George MacDonald's masterful teaching on the subject of sacrificial love is delivered eloquently in the events and characters of this engaging story.

George MacDonald, described by W.H. Auden as "one of the most remarkable writers of the 19th century", was valued in his own time as an original thinker and spiritual guide. Of all his writing, it is the fairy tales that have retained their fascination, and this collection includes all 11 stories. The fairy tales feature the stock characters of traditional tales—fairies both good and bad, and children undertaking precarious journeys. Often adopting paradox and nonsense as Lewis Carroll did, the stories invite adults to deploy the same open-mindedness as children.
