## Description

George MacDonald's beloved and highly influential classic of children's fantasy, now in a beautiful gift edition for the Union Square & Co. Signature Children's Signature Clothbound Editions line. One of the most successful and pioneering works of children's fantasy, The Princess and the Goblin tells the story of young Princess Irene and a miner's son named Curdie, who must defeat a group of goblins who live in caves beneath her mountain home. A nineteenth-century The Princess Bride for young readers, The Princess and the Goblin was an early influence on giants of fantasy literature C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien.
