Book excerpt: 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.
