L'un des contes de fées victoriens les plus réussis et les plus appréciés, La princesse et le gobelin de George Macdonald raconte l'histoire de la jeune princesse Irene et de son ami Curdie, qui doivent surpasser les gobelins menaçants qui vivent dans des grottes sous sa maison de montagne. L'utilisation pionnière de Macdonald de la fanstasy comme médium littéraire a eu une grande influence sur Lewis Carroll, J. R. R. Tolkien et Madeleine L'Engle, tous grands admirateurs de son travail, qui est resté populaire à ce jour. « J'écris, pas pour les enfants, écrit-il, mais pour les enfants, qu'ils soient de cinquante, ou de soixante-quinze ans. « Cette édition comprend des illustrations d'Arthur Hughes.

George MacDonald (1824-1905) was born in Scotland and moved to London after studying science at Aberdeen University. He became a part of the literary scene of the times and wrote poetry and novels for adults, turning quite late in life to writing fiction for children, inspired by his large family. At the Back of the North Wind was published in 1871, a fantasy masterpiece which had first been serialized in a magazine. The two following years saw the publication of his other two much-loved novels for children, The Princess and the Goblin and The Princess and the Curdie.
