George MacDonald’s beloved and highly influential classic of children’s fantasy is now available in an unabridged, paperback volume in Union Square and Co.’s Signature Editions series. 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.
George MacDonald (1824–1905) was a Scottish novelist, poet and Christian minister. He was a pioneer of modern fantasy literature and the mentor of Lewis Carroll. In addition to his fairy tales, MacDonald wrote over fifty novels, short stories, poetry, literary criticism, and several works of Christian theology.
