Princess and Curdie Author:George MacDonald The classic sequel to The Princess and the Goblin, continuing the adventures of Curdie and Princess Irene. A Dell Yearling Classic.
George MacDonald wrote with moral values in view, but let his imagination wonder wondrously. He uses the Scottish countryside and turns it into an engrossingly fay world.
Originally written in 1883, this is a classic fairy tale that has stood the test of time. My mother read it as a child, and read it to me when I was little. I, in turn, buy copies for my friends' kids, having none of my own with whom to share this delightful story.
