The Princess & the Goblin (abridged edition)

One night Princess Irene discovers her beautiful great-great-grandmother spinning silver thread in the palace tower. Though great danger is about to come upon the sunny kingdom, the old lady promises to keep Irene safe. But when no one will believe her tales of the secret tower, Irene's confidence begins to waver.
The Princess and the Goblin is a delightful, meaningful tale of love, bravery, and the importance of faith. George MacDonald's method of weaving truth into stories for children inspired such writers as C.S. Lewis. Abridged Edition. 191 pages, softcover.
