A marvelous tale of how the princess and Curdie, with the help of
the great-great-grandmother, overcome the wicked goblins of the
mountain. 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.
