Description
Eight-year-old Princess Irene lives a lonely life in a castle in a wild, desolate, mountainous kingdom, with only her nursemaid, (Lootie) for company. Her father the king is normally absent attending to affairs of state, and her mother is dead. Irene has never known about the existence of the goblins which lurk in the underground mines but her nursemaid Lootie does know about them. These goblins are grotesque and hideous beings, who centuries ago were human, but due to various reasons, they were driven underground and became malformed and distorted by their new lifestyle. This caused them to despise the humans above the ground and vow revenge against them.

5By BeanleyThis book is excellent! The princess Irene is an extremely lovable protagonist. MacDonald is an incredible writer with a gift for fantasy as well as for theology, which is so magically represented in his fiction. Everyone should read this, and then read it to their children (especially their daughters) over and over again!
