The Princess and Curdie

Description

Princess Irene and her friend Curdie are back on a new magical adventure in George Macdonald’s fantasy, The Princess and Curdie, the direct sequel to The Princess and the Goblin.

Two years have passed since the fateful events of The Princess and the Goblin, where the children saved the kingdom by hunting down evil goblins. Now, a few years older, they are instead fighting to stop Irene’s father from succumbing to a mysterious illness that just might be linked to someone else in the palace. While Princess Irene is forced to deal with her corrupt palace servants and evil political games, Curdie must let go of his doubts and journey on his own quest to help Princess Irene.

Influential Christian author George MacDonald, known as one of the pioneering writers of the 19th century, has the incredible talent of taking children’s fairy tale stories and blending them with lessons in faith to create his timeless masterpieces. His works, which include both fantasies and Christian apologetics, have been renowned for influencing other literary geniuses, such as Lewis Carroll, Mark Twain, and C. S. Lewis.

The Princess and Curdie is a profound children’s novel about honor, faith, and seeing someone for who they are on the inside despite their appearances. This fairytale, filled with both action and ‘deep magic,’ will be much more than you expect.
