Synopsis

Princess Irene lives on the side of a mountain in a giant old house with a secret stairway that doesn't always lead to the same place--unless her mysteriously ageless great-great-grandmother wants to be seen. Meanwhile, deep inside the mountain, cruel goblins are hatching an evil plot to steal away the princess and overthrow her king-papa. But their plot is overheard by Curdie, the miner's son. Will the princess with her great faith and Curdie with his great courage be able to stop the goblins? Dive into this timeless mystical fairytale and find out!

An inspiration for both The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings, this story is deeply Christian (without being overtly Christian) in the sense that it conveys profound truths of the Kingdom of God in a way that even a child can understand.

First published in 1872, The Princess and the Goblin is a true classic that has never been out of print, and most major publishers, both secular and Christian, have had an edition. But now Walking Together Press has created a brand-new and beautifully illustrated hardcover edition--with forty-six illustrations--in a pseudo-manga style for a twenty-first century audience.

À propos des auteurs

George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian Congregationalist minister. He became a pioneering figure in modern fantasy literature. George MacDonald's imaginative storytelling and deeply Christian themes profoundly influenced the literary world. C. S. Lewis regarded MacDonald as his "master," and J. R. R. Tolkien--who read the Princess stories to his children--found literary inspiration in MacDonald's works.
