Summary "Cross Purposes and The Shadows" by George MacDonald is a fantasy novel likely written in the late 19th century. The book intertwines the worlds of mortals and fairies, featuring characters like Alice, the squire's daughter who finds herself in Fairyland, and Richard, the widow's son, who also embarks on a magical adventure. The story explores themes of innocence, imagination, and the blurring of reality and fantasy as the characters interact with various fantastical beings. At the start of "Cross Purposes," the Fairy Queen, in search of amusement, decides to bring a mortal girl and boy to Fairyland. Peaseblossom, the Fairy Queen's companion, is tasked with bringing Alice, while Toadstool, a goblin, announces he will bring Richard. As both characters are drawn into this magical realm, they encounter various enchanting experiences. The opening establishes a sense of whimsical adventure, as Alice transitions from her ordinary world to a fantastical journey filled with spellbinding encounters, including swimming with fairies and encountering strange creatures, while Richard navigates the peculiar transformations surrounding him, paving the way for their eventual meeting in Fairyland.
