George Macdonald's 1872 classic "The Princess and the Goblin" is combined with its 1883 sequel "The Princess and Curdie," in comfortable 14-point type and with more than a hundred black-and-white illustrations by James Allen, Arthur Hughes, Maria L. Kirk, Jessie Wilcox Smith, and Helen Stratton. This edition is unabridged but has been given small punctuation fixes for the sake of clarity. British spellings have been preserved.

Secrets abound in Princess Irene's home. Vicious goblins plot in the caves below, and Irene and her new friend Curdie must choose who to trust if they are to save the kingdom from disaster.
