From the man that influenced the minds of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Madeleine L’Engle, comes a children’s book about courage and overcoming evil. The story follows young Princess Irene and her friend Curdie as they work to fight the wicked goblins. George MacDonald’s writing may seem simple enough in this book, but the messages he sends are incredibly deep and thought provoking. While The Princess and the Goblin is best known as a children’s story, it can be appreciated by people of all ages.
