About this book
George MacDonald’s fairy tale for young readers follows Princess Irene and the young miner Curdie as they contend with goblins living beneath her home. When the pair are lost after dark, Irene calms her anxious nurse by insisting they walk instead of run, while Curdie warns that running will bring danger closer. On the mountain, a lamp from Irene’s great-great-grandmother gives her courage and helps her find the way. Later, Irene trusts a guiding thread to lead them out of the mine, though Curdie cannot see what she sees.
