It is faithful to the letter of the text, but Dalziel and Hughes\u2019s joyful representation of the witch totally undermines the spirit of Macdonald\u2019s writing:<br \/>\n\u2018She was a sour, spiteful creature. The wrinkles of contempt crossed the wrinkles of peevishness, and made her face as full of wrinkles as a pat of butter. [\u2026] She looked very odd, too. Her forehead was as large as all the rest of her face, and projected over it like a precipice. When she was angry, her little eyes flashed blue. When she hated anybody, they shone yellow and green. What they looked like when she loved anybody, I do not know; for I never heard of her loving anybody but herself, and I do not think she could have managed that if she had not somehow got used to herself.\u2019<br \/>\nDalziel after Arthur Hughes, \u2018The Christening\u2019, illustration for George Macdonald, Dealings with the Fairies (London: Alexander Strahan, 1867).
