Her father, the king, is normally absent, and her mother is dead. Unknown to her, the nearby mines are inhabited by a race of goblins, long banished from the kingdom and now anxious to take revenge on their human neighbours. One rainy day, the princess explores the castle and discovers a beautiful, mysterious lady, who identifies herself as Irene's namesake and great-great-grandmother. The next day, Princess Irene persuades her nursemaid to take her outside. After dark they are chased by goblins and rescued by the young miner, Curdie, whom Irene befriends. At work with the rest of the miners, Curdie overhears the goblins talking, and their conversation reveals to Curdie the secret weakness of goblin anatomy: they have very soft, vulnerable feet.

This book was released on 2018-07 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE PRINCESS AND THE GOBLIN - A BOOK THAT INSPIRED TOLKIEN. With original illustrations. THE PROFESSOR'S BOOKSHELF #5: Professor J.R.R. Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, was a great admirer of George MacDonald's fairy-stories. When his children were young, he used to read The Princess and the Goblin to them in the evenings, before they went to bed. 'Tolkien knew well MacDonald's children's books "The Princess and the Goblin" and "The Princess and Curdie", both of which influenced Tolkien's depiction of goblins in The Hobbit, ' writes Douglas A. Anderson in 'Tales Before Tolkien: The Roots of Modern Fantasy'. Dart-Thornton's introduction notes similarities between this story and Tolkien's works, for example: 'The wise, magical, prescient grandmother of the Princess Irene, seems to be a literary ancestor of Galadriel; centuries old and yet looking young, a queen, a healer, a beautiful, golden-haired woman associated with water. 'Princess Irene has a magic ring which is associated with invisibility, being linked to a semi-visible thread. This ring aids her in an escape from the Goblin Underground, much as The One Ring aids Bilbo.' This new edition contains ten illustrations by Jessie Willcox-Smith from the 1920 edition, which was published when Tolkien was aged 28, his eldest child John was three years old and his second child Michael had just been born. The delicately beautiful drawings of Willcox-Smith have been loved by generations of children to this very day. Also included is an illustration by Arthur Hughes from the 1911 edition.

Book excerpt: Published by Strahan & Co in 1872, George MacDonald's fantasy, The Princess and the Goblin, details the adventures of Princess Irene and miner Curdie as they outwit a horde of goblins.When her mother fell ill, Princess Irene was sent to be brought up by country people in a large, castle-like house on the side of a mountain. Now eight, she lives with her nursemaid Lootie, and her father visits occasionally.Irene is not allowed outside at night because of the goblins that live inside the mountains. The goblins are night creatures and have hidden themselves away because of some unknown political disagreement with a previous king. The goblins' life underground has altered their appearance to look unusually grotesque, but they've become more intelligent. They are resentful toward humans, especially those of the royal line. The goblins torture anyone with the misfortune of meeting them. One day the princess gets lost in the castle. She climbs a tall tower and follows a humming sound into a room. There, she sees an old woman with long white hair sitting at a spinning wheel. The woman tells Irene that she is her great-great-grandmother and that Irene is her namesake. She lives off of pigeons' eggs and spins spiderwebs brought by the pigeons. Irene tells Lootie about her grandmother, but Lootie doesn't believe her. The next day, Irene goes in search of her grandmother but isn't able to find her and assumes she was dreaming.A few days after she meets her grandmother, Irene and Lootie go for a walk. The two wander too far, and darkness begins to fall. Just as a group of goblins begins harassing them from the shadows, Curdie, a young miner, comes upon the pair. He scares the goblins away by singing loudly, and Irene promises him a kiss at a later date.The next night, Curdie decides to stay in the mines, earning extra wages to buy a red petticoat for his mother. Curdie overhears a family of goblins talking about how they have very sensitive feet. He follows them to the goblin palace where he learns about the goblins' plan to flood the mine and drown the miners.A season or so passes, and the princess gets a prick on her thumb from an old brooch. Her sore quickly becomes infected, and Lootie puts her to bed. Irene wakes up in the night and wanders again to her grandmother's tower. Her grandmother heals her with an ointment and Irene falls asleep in her grandmother's bed. Irene wakes in her own bed, having promised to go back to the tower Friday night.That Friday night, a goblin creature climbs into Irene's window, and she runs out of the house into the night. No longer pursued, she turns and sees her grandmother's light in the tower window and follows it home. Irene's grandmother gives her a ring with an invisible thread made from a spider's web.The goblins catch Curdie sneaking into their cavern, and Curdie is successful at warding most of them off by stomping on their feet. The goblin queen, however, is wearing stone shoes and manages to capture and imprison him. Curdie is left to starve in the goblin prison, but Irene is led to him by her magic thread, and she rescues him. Curdie manages to steal one of the goblin queen's shoes on their way out.Following the thread, Curdie and Irene head up to the grandmother's room. Curdie can't see Irene's grandmother and is cross with Irene for what he thinks is a cruel joke. The grandmother explains that Curdie isn't able to believe yet and therefore can't see her.When Curdie arrives home, he tells the whole story to his parents. His mother relates a story from her childhood when a great white pigeon rescued her from a group of goblins. She implies that the royal line has some magical powers and that Irene may have been telling the truth.On another fact-finding mission, Curdie learns that the goblins plan to dig a tunnel into the castle to capture Princess Irene. Upon her capture, they plan to marry her to Harelip, the goblin prince...

Book excerpt: This version: Detailed Biographies Original Illustrations included Thoroughly organized Keeping all the "original wording" The Princess and the Goblin; Princess Irene lives with her nurse, Lootie, and other servants in a large, old castle/farmhouse 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. Lottie 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 the 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.

Download or read book Tales Before Tolkien: The Roots of Modern Fantasy written by Douglas A. Anderson and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2003-08-26 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terry Brooks. David Eddings. George R. R. Martin. Robin Hobb. The top names in modern fantasy all acknowledge J. R. R. Tolkien as their role model, the author whose work inspired them to create their own epics. But what writers influenced Tolkien himself? Here, internationally recognized Tolkien expert Douglas A. Anderson has gathered the fiction of authors who sparked Tolkien’s imagination in a collection destined to become a classic in its own right. Andrew Lang’s romantic swashbuckler, “The Story of Sigurd,” features magic rings, an enchanted sword, and a brave hero loved by two beautiful women— and cursed by a ferocious dragon. Tolkien read E. A. Wyke-Smith’s “The Marvelous Land of Snergs” to his children, delighting in these charming tales of a pixieish people “only slightly taller than the average table.” Also appearing in this collection is a never-before-published gem by David Lindsay, author of Voyage to Arcturus, a novel which Tolkien praised highly both as a thriller and as a work of philosophy, religion, and morals. In stories packed with magical journeys, conflicted heroes, and terrible beasts, this extraordinary volume is one that no fan of fantasy or Tolkien should be without. These tales just might inspire a new generation of creative writers. Tales Before Tolkien: 22 Magical Stories “The Elves” by Ludwig Tieck “The Golden Key” by George Macdonald “Puss-Cat Mew” by E. H.
