The Day Boy and the Night Girl by George MacDonald illustrated by Nonny Hogrogian*

 Watho, a witch, keeps and "raises" two children. One child, a boy whom she calls Photogen, is never allowed to see darkness, while the girl, Nycteris, never sees day. By accident, when they were older, the two meet, each one fearful and ignorant about the portion of the day they have never seen.  Together they escape Watho and learn to support each other in weakness.

George MacDonald is credited to inspiring writers, including C.S. Lewis.

*Highly recommend for those who like fantasy.

-Borrowed from the library.
