I read aloud this classic to my eleven-year old. After hearing a well-known pastor use portions of this book in analogy for his sermon, my curiosity was piqued, and I bought the book.
The Princess has discovered hallways and doorways she did not know had existed. In one room she encounters her many-greats grandmother, who seems to know everything! No one, however, believes her stories about the beautiful elderly lady.
Curdie, a miner's son, realizes that the goblins are planning to dig a tunnel into the Princess's house and steal the Princess as a bride for Harelip, the goblin king's son. With patience and courage, Curdie manages to thwart their scheme and finds a friend in the process.
First published in 1872, it has never been out of print!
*Highly recommend.
-I own this book.
Points to discuss/to consider- (for sensitive readers)- nasty goblins and battle violence
