Book excerpt: The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald The eight-year-old Princess Irene lives in a society of inhabitants of the sun (those who live above ground) and goblins (those who live underground). Although they are all people, those who live underground have turned into horrible-looking individuals due to the lack of sun. Goblins sleep during the day and only come out at night. Because of this, the sun dwellers make sure their doors are locked and that they are safe inside at night. After Princess Irene meets her great-great-grandmother (called her grandmother), she learns that few can see her relative, and most do not believe she is real even when looking at her. Princess Irene meets a 12-year-old miner named Curdie when he rescues her from the goblins after Irene and her nurse stay on the mountain after dark. Princess Irene returns the favor and rescues Curdie after he is captured by goblins following a nearly invisible thread his grandmother made for him. However, when Irene tries to introduce Curdie to her grandmother, Curdie is unable to see her. When Curdie's parents tell him about the incident, he feels embarrassed and realizes that even if he can't see something, it doesn't mean someone else can't see it. Over time, Curdie realizes that the goblins intend to kidnap Irene and force her to marry their goblin prince. Unable to warn Irene of impending danger, Curdie, with the help of Irene's grandmother, defeats the attacking hordes and finds Irene safely in her mother's arms. He no longer doubts Irene's stories.

Download or read book The Princess and Curdie written by George MacDonald and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-21 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Princess and Curdie The Princess and Curdie is a children's classic fantasy novel by George MacDonald from late 1883. The book is the sequel to The Princess and the Goblin. The adventure continues with Princess Irene and Curdie a year or two older. They must overthrow a set of corrupt ministers who are poisoning Irene's father, the king. Irene's grandmother also reappears and gives Curdie a strange gift. A monster called Lina aids his quest. Two years have passed since the last book, and Princess Irene and her father go to Gwyntystorm, while Curdie (a miner boy who is the friend of the Princess) stays at home with his mother and father. As the years go by, Curdie begins to hunt for pleasure. He also slowly begins to doubt Irene's story of her great-great grandmother. One day, he shoots down a white pigeon. Curdie then remembers Irene's tale of her grandmother's pigeons, assumes the one he has shot down was one of them, and becomes aware of his folly. A light appears at the roof of the castle, and Curdie follows it. There, Curdie meets the old Princess, who appears small and withered, contrary to Irene's descriptions. The old Princess gently tells Curdie of his wrong thinking, and he confesses. Because he now believes, the pigeon heals. He is then told to keep his bow and arrows but use them for good instead of bad things. The old Princess then tells Curdie he must go on a special quest. Before she sends him, she burns his hands in her special fire of roses. His cleansed hands now possess the ability to be able to feel the hands of his fellow men and detect what kind of person (or beast) they are on the inside. She also gives Curdie's father a special emerald to keep while Curdie is away on the quest. If Curdie is in danger, the emerald will change colour, to alert his father to go after him. Curdie is given a monstrous yet friendly beast, Lina, as his only travelling companion. Lina saves him from many perils as they travel to Gwyntystorm. Once they reach their destination, Curdie's task becomes clear: he finds himself at the King's palace, where the King lies weak and ill in his bedchamber with his daughter Irene his only nurse. Having sneaked in to spy on what is going on and eavesdrop on the palace servants, Curdie realises that the King's "doctor" is actually slowly poisoning him. The palace servants and courtiers have all become morally corrupt and enemies of the king. No one can be trusted and both the Princess and the King are in mortal danger, so Curdie realises why the Old Princess has sent him: he must save the king (Irene's father) from a plot to poison him and steal his kingdom by forcibly marrying his daughter Princess Irene to an evil pretender. With the aid of the old Princess, who has been disguised as a housemaid, the king, his daughter, and the kingdom are saved. Curdie and Princess Irene are later married and rule the kingdom after the king dies. However, they have no children, and after they both die, the kingdom deteriorates until one day it collapses and has never been spoken of again.

Book excerpt: Princess Irene lives with her nurse, Lootie, and other servants in a large, old castle/farm house on a mountainside. In the mountains surrounding the house are mines worked by such men as Curdie (12 years old) and his father. There are also subterranean caves and caverns where goblins live, goblins who bear a grudge against the 'sun people' because they took the land above ground from them. The servants in the castle know about the goblins; they are never to let the princess be out after dark. One rainy day Princess Irene explores the house alone and discovers an unknown staircase that leads up several flights to a room where a beautiful old lady is spinning. She is Irene's great, great grandmother, Irene, a lady of undetermined age, who had given her name to the princess and, unknown to anyone in the castle, has come to take care of her. She is spinning a ball of thread for Irene. The princess returns downstairs, eager to tell Lootie about her grandmother. Lootie says she imagined her and, as Irene fails to find her grandmother the next time she looks for the stairs, she wonders if this is true. Irene and Lootie stay out after dark while out walking and Curdie rescues them from goblins with his songs, for goblins are repulsed by music and rhymes. Irene succeeds in finding her grandmother the next time she tries and receives from her the ball of thread she has been spinning. Curdie discovers by working late the goblins' plot to kidnap the princess,wedding her to the goblin prince. He also discovers that the goblins' weakness is their feet, unprotected by shoes. Curdie is captured while learning all this. Following the thread that her grandmother has woven, Irene reaches Curdie in the goblins' cave and frees him. He cannot see the thread that guides Irene, nor does he see her grandmother when they eventually reach the castle. He leaves in anger because he thinks she is making a fool of him. He talks with his parents about this and his mother cautions him that just because he does not understand something is no reason to say that it isn't true. The goblins' attack is defeated by Curdie and the King's guards while Irene sleeps soundly at Curdie's house where her grandmother's thread has led her.

George MacDonald was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister. Bornin Huntly, Aberdeenshire, Scotland [1824-1905] He was educated at Aberdeen University and after a short and stormy career as a minister at Arundel, where his unorthodox views led to his dismissal, he turned to fiction as a means of earning a living. He wrote over 50 books. Known particularly for his poignant fairy tales and fantasy novels, MacDonald inspired many authors, such as G.K. Chesterton, W. H. Auden, J.R.R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and Madeleine L'Engle. Lewis wrote that he regarded MacDonald as his "master": "Picking up a copy of Phantastes one day at a train station bookstall, I began to read. A few hours later," said Lewis, "I knew that I had crossed a great frontier." G. K. Chesterton cited The Princess and the Goblin as a book that had "made a difference to my whole existence." Truly a classic masterpiece.
