In The Princess and the Goblin, George MacDonald follows Princess Irene, a sheltered child living in a remote mountain residence that is part castle, part farmhouse, while her royal father travels his realm. Beneath the mountain, goblins prepare a secret assault, forcing Irene into an unexpected adventure that draws her into alliance with Curdie, a resourceful miner boy, and a mysterious great-great-grandmother hidden in a tower room whose presence suggests quiet spiritual guidance. Blending fairy-tale motifs, underground monsters, and hints of Christian allegory, this classic children’s fantasy balances danger with wonder. This edition features an introduction by folklore scholar Maria Tatar and bold, folkloric illustrations by Mădălina Andronic.
