The Princess and the Goblin: A children's fantasy novel by George MacDonald Paperback – Import, 13 November 2020

A story written for children of all ages. Another classic by one of the greatest authors of the past 200 years.

We read this as part of our homeschool curriculum and my nine and four year olds both thoroughly enjoyed this tale. There was bravery, chivalry, suspense, and some mystery, too. My nine year old son said it was the best book he ever heard. He identified closely with Curdie, one of the main characters, And of course my four-year-old daughter identified with Princess Irene. As our read-aloud, I enjoyed the story as much as my children and learned several valuable lessons about faith in what is unseen.

This is a well written fairy tale that I remember my grandmother reading to me and my siblings when we were young. I believe I enjoyed it even more, reading it sixty years later.

I liked this book because there was a lot of adventure and the illustrations were interesting. I think I would recommend this book to someone who loves excitement and adventure. (Review by my nine year old granddaughter, to whom I read it)

It took a chapter or two to get used to the writing style (where the author talks to the reader) but I LOVED this book. I read in one day and just finished and bought the complete works. I loved the stories about how George M influenced other writers. I can't write to read the complete works. It's so long, it takes time to download - so while I wait, I write this review. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
