About the Book

Eight-year-old Princess Irene lives a lonely life in a wild, desolate, mountainous kingdom, with only her nursemaid, Lootie for company. She is protected from the outside world and oblivious to the existence of goblins, hideous creatures that live underground and only come out at night. One day, while out walking, Irene and Lootie get lost. As night falls, strange shadows creep out from under boulders and around corners, closing in on them. Terrified, they try to run but the goblins give chase. It is then they run into Curdie, the brave miner's son who isn't afraid of the goblins and knows how to scare them away. While working late one night in the mines Curdie overhears a diabolical plan the goblins are plotting. The terrible goblin Queen plans to kidnap the princess and force her to marry her son. That way she believes humans will be forced to accept goblins as their rulers. Can they be stopped and the kingdom be saved before it is too late? Before the creation of Middle Earth or Narnia, George MacDonald was inventing wonderful kingdoms and populating them with magical creatures and enchanted beings. It is a must-read for all fantasy aficionados and fans of J.R.R Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and J.K. Rowling.

About the Author :
George MacDonald (1824 - 1905) was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister. Known particularly for his poignant fairy tales and fantasy novels, he inspired many authors, such as W.H. Auden, J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, E. Nesbit and Madeleine L'Engle.

Review :
'A lovely and magical book. British children's fantasy begins here' Jonathan Stroud 'I have never concealed the fact that I regarded him as my master; indeed I fancy I have never written a book in which I did not quote from him' C.S. Lewis 'Few writers can seem more whimsical, and then catch you out not simply by making you cry, but by staying in your head as almost infinitely wise - MacDonald is one of the great myth-makers' A.N. Wilson, The Telegraph 'The Princess and the Goblin and The Princess and Curdie are two of the most unusual and haunting fairy tales ever written' The Guardian
