"They worked only at night, for the miners' night was the goblins' day. Indeed, the greater number of the miners were afraid of the goblins; for there were strange stories well known amongst them of the treatment some had received whom the goblins had surprised at their work during the night."
Wandering around her big empty house, Princess Irene discovers a mysterious staircase that leads to a hidden room. In the nearby mines, young miner Curdie overhears a group of goblins plotting to kidnap the young princess and marry her off to the goblin prince. A pair of unlikely allies, Irene and Curdie must work together to save their kingdom from ruin.
Often compared to Lewis Carroll's works for its layers of symbolism, The Princess and the Goblin is one of the first works of modern fantasy. George MacDonald's vengeful goblins served as inspiration for J.R.R. Tolkien's creations, and the valiant Curdie is mentioned in a C.S. Lewis novel. Published in 1872, this children's fantasy classic continues to enchant readers to this day.
