The Princess And The Goblin

This classic is written in a similar manner as Brother's Grimm and is a magical fairy tale about an independent, yet innocent, eight-year-old princess who discovers that her mysterious great-grandmother lives in the attic. What she doesn't know is that she is in continuous danger from the Goblins that live underground. Why it's on the list As the title may hint, this is a story in the same vein as The Goose Girl or Jack and The Beanstalk. As the title may also hint - there's a goblin and there's a princess. What makes the story so special is the imagery and stunning use of a child's point of view through the narrative. MacDonald has interwoven elements of mythology and religion so deftly into this enchanting story that it is truly a delight to read. Read if you like Fairy-tales. To be reminded that courage, trustworthiness and love are virtues for a reason.
