The Princess and the Goblin

The Princess and the Goblin, first published in 1872, is a timeless tale of courage, imagination, and the triumph of light over darkness. Written by George MacDonald, a pioneer of modern fantasy literature, who was to influence both C.S Lewis and Tolkien, this enchanting story has captured the hearts of readers young and old for over a century. It remains one of MacDonald's most celebrated works, embodying the deep moral and spiritual insights that define much of his writing.

At its core, this story is a fairy tale—a genre MacDonald championed as a way to explore truths that transcend everyday experience. The narrative follows the adventures of Princess Irene and a miner boy named Curdie as they confront the mysterious goblins lurking beneath the kingdom. Through their bravery and trust in one another, they learn valuable lessons about faith, loyalty, and the enduring power of good in the face of evil.
