Sequel to The Princess and the Goblin in which Curdie travels to
Gwyntystorm, the capital city, with many adventures along the way.
There he finds a group of corrupt courtiers plotting to seize the
throne. With the aid of Lina, a curious monster, and forty-nine
other strange animals, he clears the palaces of these conspirators,
eventually marrying the princess and becoming heir to the kingdom.
In the sphere of fantasy, author George MacDonald has few equals,
and his rare touch of many aspects of life invariably gives to his
stories a deeper meaning of the highest value. A contemporary
writes of The Princess and the Goblin: "It is a graceful story,
full of romance and adventure, with a deep meaning underlying the
beauty of the surface, which gives it the life and mystery which
forms the subtle charm MacDonald weaves into all his works,
especially those for the young. Faith in that which is invisible,
and the courage of that which we believe, are what he tries to
teach. He speaks with a tender, earnest eloquence which draws a
response from the reader, like music from the harp of a master
minstrel." MacDonald's use of fantasy to explore the human
condition inspired a generation of writers, among them G. K.
Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Madeline L'Engle.
